John Cena dropped a very cheeky innuendo into his The One Show appearance, that went entirely unnoticed by the hosts.

The pro wrester, 46, was due to appear on the BBC One programme with Henry Cavill, who had to pull out at the last minute due to illness, to promote their new film Argylle.

Instead, he was joined by Trigger Point stars Vicky McClure and Mark Stanley, and director Matthew Vaughn.

And at one point, he made a NSFW quip after Vicky and host Alex Jones commented that they were all for going out clubbing at an earlier time, so they could come home and have a cup of tea rather than a kebab.

But taking the conversation somewhere else entirely, Cena joked: ‘Finishing early has always been a concern of mine, but now I know there’s an entire group, it’s fine, it’s great.’

Presenters Alex and Ronan Keating seemed to laugh his comment off, not noticing the innuendo, but viewers at home certainly did.

‘John Cena with the innuendos,’ X user @steveando81 wrote.

‘Not everyone missing John Cena’s dirty joke,’ @jadeawx added.

Elsewhere, Cena spoke about his upcoming spy action comedy, and ‘staying well within [his] lane’, when it came to his WWE background helping with movie stunts.

‘I’m well disciplined in the world of WWE stunts and lifting people up, as you see in the trailer for Argylle,’ he began.

‘But a lot of directors when they cast me would just assume I have a matrix knowledge of everything…knowing Kung Fu.

‘One moment with one director when they looked at fight choreography and they said “no that’s not it just do some of that Krav Maga.”

‘It’s like “ok, no problem, I just need to go home for 10 years, master that and come back!”‘

The Argylle cast, in which The Witcher star Henry takes the lead, boasts A-listers Dua Lipa, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ariana DeBose, and Samuel L. Jackson.

But Taylor Swift is certainly not involved, director Matthew was forced to clear up as he debunked the conspiracy theory that the Love Story singer had penned the novel from which the film is adapted.

‘This is how crazy it is, my daughter came up to me and said “why didn’t you tell me Taylor Swift wrote the book?” and I promise you – she didn’t!’ he laughed.

‘”Well I want to meet Taylor Swift,” she said, so I said, “I don’t know her, you’re not going to meet her, and she didn’t write the book, and then I went online and was like, “This is pretty insane,” but she didn’t write the book.’

He added to Boyzone singer Ronan: ‘There’s more of a chance that a member of your band wrote the book!’

Slated for release on February 2, a synopsis for the action thriller reads: ‘Reclusive author Elly Conway writes best-selling espionage novels about a secret agent named Argylle who’s on a mission to unravel a global spy syndicate.

‘However, when the plots of her books start to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur.’

The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
