IRELAND AM star Alan Hughes left baffled as he struggled in a live workout and left viewers in stitches.
The Virgin Media star was back on air this week alongside his usual co-host Muireann O’Connell.
The pair were joined by pilates Instructor Aoife Lennon, to show viewers how to use the reformer bed.
Muireann joked about the equipment saying: “You might think it’s a medieval torture device, but it is not.”
Aoife asked Alan to lie on the machine and put his legs resting on the end of the bed.
The host was already frustrated trying to get into position as he shouted: “Hold on a second there, will you, for God’s sake. Am I supposed to do this?
“Am I supposed to be like that? My knees are nearly in my head.”
Muireann said sarcastically: “Alan, you’re going to have birth on Ireland AM.”
Alan replied: “That’s what it feels like.”
The Dubliner had to put his feet together and move his body up and down the machine to warm up.
He said: “This feels… This must look ridiculous. It feels so weird.”
Next, Aoife got Alan to do the ‘100’ exercise, which usually you would do 100 reps of.
Alan had to hold onto the straps behind his head and create resistance by bringing them over his shoulders and onto his sides.
The 61-year-old then had to lift his knees up over his hips and engage his core muscles.
Muireann joined in on the fun and added: “This is intense.”
Aoife then directed the pair to flap their arms up and down to further the difficulty.
Alan replied: “I can barely do this.”
‘OBSESSED’
The pilates instructor explained how the exercise was a “warm up” and absolutely baffled Alan.
The popular presenter shouted out in disbelief: “This is a warm-up?”
Alan moaned and groaned as he did the workout and said: “You need Tommy Bowe here.”
Ireland AM shared the funny clip on Instagram and had everyone in stitches laughing.

Maria said: “Alan was so funny this morning, had me in stitches and Muireann made it look easy.”
Triona remarked: “Obsessed hahahah pop off.”
Lynn added: “Brilliant.”
