IrelandGino D'Acampo's answer to "British carbonara" involves his grandmother and wheels
A clips channel's repost of the old This Morning exchange has drawn more than ten million views since yesterday, and a comment section busier than usual for its Shorts.
Videos that make your day better
Story of No. 6 on the daily chartNo. 1 on the Film & TV chart
Why this story? One of the most watched videos since yesterday, with 10,366,307 views.
I never skip this video 😂
Holly Willoughby tastes the pasta and makes a suggestion: add ham, and "it's closer to a British carbonara." Phillip Schofield pulls a face as he takes his own bite. Gino D'Acampo answers with the straightest face in daytime television: "If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike."
Both hosts fold over the counter laughing. He keeps going anyway. "It doesn't make any sense what you said. It's a different recipe," he insists, adding that it has nothing to do with the macaroni cheese in front of them.
This is an old This Morning moment, reposted on the clips channel Videos that make your day better, where it has drawn more than ten million views since yesterday. The title admits what many viewers seem to share: it is a clip people watch to the end every time.
The comments came in far faster than on a usual first day for the channel's Shorts. Many point out that the line is an Italian saying for dismissing an absurd "what if." Others fix on D'Acampo's look the instant he hears "ham," and on the crew laughing off camera.

Dude's entire ancestral line was offended at that.
@tremas3329See it on YouTube"am glad you're standing there", he already knew what was coming 😂😂
@ray-r3o2sSee it on YouTubeFYI, "If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike" is a literal translation of a classic Italian idiom ("Se mia nonna avesse le ruote..."). It's used to shut down absurd "what if" scenarios. Basically, it means: "Yes, and if you change the fundamental properties of an object, it becomes a completely different thing. So your hypothetical point is meaningless.
