Richard Madden’s character in the Bodyguard had viewers blushing during Friday night’s Comic Relief special as he threatened to “whip his Glock out” in a cheeky skit.
Madden, who plays hunky policeman David Budd, was reunited with Keeley Hawes for the eight-minute skit, while Joanna Lumley also made an appearance.
Budd was being interviewed for a new assignment to protect the prime minister, played by Lumley, when he was asked about his weapon of choice.

Comedian Sanjeev Bhaskar, who played his examiner, asked: “In the event of a threat directed at the principal, what would be your response?”
Referring to his gun, Budd quickly replied: “I’d whip out my Glock!”
“My Glock, my firearm of choice,” he added.
The saucy joke prompted a flood of tweets from fans, with one writing: “That Bodyguard special for Comic Relief though. Budd could whip his Glock out at me any day.”
