Kelly Clarkson is known for being bubbly and outgoing, but a recent comment on her show had her so bashful she had to walk offstage.
The hilarious moment happened during Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding's recent visit to the show to promote Guy Ritchie's new spy comedy The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, in which Golding stars alongside Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson and Cary Elwes.
During the visit they had a conversation about, of all things, pastrami, in which Clarkson made an inadvertent joke about certain early morning dietary preferences that immediately sounded sexual to everyone present.

During their chat, Golding told of how he had a pastrami sandwich for breakfast, as a sort of "when in New York, do as the New Yorkers do" lark.
Of course, not even New Yorkers eat pastrami for breakfast, which led Golding and Clarkson to joke about the deli meat.
Golding said:
"I called my friend. I was like, 'I'm having breakfast. I'm gonna get a pastrami sandwich.'"
"They're like, 'That is the strangest thing. That's weird. Meat first thing in the morning? No good.'"
But it didn't sound half bad to Clarkson. She responded:
"Well, steak and eggs! I don't mind meat in the morning."
It took a moment for the innuendo to dawn on her, but when everyone's tittering clued her in, she all but leapt from her chair and walked off the stage in a fit of embarrassed giggles.
Golding cracked:
“We gotta get a fan for you, Kelly, you look a little hot under the collar.”
To which Clarkson responded:
"Are you serious? Those are the words I used? Did I just say that?... Not a bad thing, though."
On social media, Clarkson's gaffe had people nothing short of delighted.
Who doesn't like a bit of meat in the morning? Kelly really is just like us.
