One of the stars of The Inbetweeners has harked back to one of his most iconic scenes on the TV show, when he strutted his stuff on a catwalk with his testicle on full display.
What makes the memory of the episode even more hilarious is the new revelation that he didn’t even try to conceal his genital area when the cameras stopped rolling, as he was ‘so broken’ by the end of the day.
In a new episode of Rob Beckett’s Smart TV, actor Joe Thomas joined stars including Alison Hammond and Josh Widdicombe on the panel show.
In an exclusive clip shared by Metro.co.uk, the 40-year-old – who played schoolboy Simon Cooper on the famously crude sitcom The Inbetweeners – was quizzed about his testicle-baring catwalk stunt.
‘So was that a prosthetic they put in?’ asked Rob, 38.
‘No it wasn’t. They said, “Do you want a prosthetic testicle?” But I thought, “That’s not exactly dignified.” I mean, the show is what it is. That’s my genuine testicle,’ Joe responded.

Rob appeared to be in disbelief by the actor’s admission, remarking: ‘That’s your nut? That’s your own bollock?’
After confirming that was indeed the case, Joe was then asked an intriguing question by The Last Leg star Josh, 40.
‘Between shots did you slip it back in or did you just stand there?’ he remarked.
Joe candidly outlined why he didn’t feel the need to ‘slip it back in’ when he wasn’t filming.
‘By the end of the day I was so broken that I didn’t really care whether it was out or not. I was like, “It’s out,”’ he explained, shrugging.
‘I think we can say you have done your own stunts,’ Rob then quipped.

During a recent interview with Metro.co.uk, The Inbetweeners star James Buckley shared that he still finds the show funny, especially his character Jay Cartwright’s signature, explicit catchphrase.
You and us both, James!
‘It might be a bit more cringy or embarrassing than being the actor who’s so fed up of a character and too cool for school, but I still find it funny,’ he said.
‘I don’t know whether that’s more embarrassing and whether I should have grown up.’
Rob Beckett’s Smart TV is a new comedy TV show from the creators of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, which centres all around TV trivia with a variety of celebrity guests.
In this week’s episode, Joe will be starring alongside Gregg Wallace, Alan Davies and Ruth Madeley, as well as host Rob and team captains Alison and Josh.
Rob Beckett’s Smart TV continues Thursdays 9pm on Sky Max & NOW.
