The plumber who worked on Les Dennis' and Amanda Holden's house certainly left a lasting impression on the pair of them.
While fixing the pipes in their Highgate home, he also made an hilarious remark that made the comedian realise their marriage wouldn't last.
Take a look at Les recounting the moment here:
The pair got hitched in 1995 after meeting on a stage show production of The Sound of Music and falling head over heels.

Their 18-year age gap didn't phase either of them, and they became one of showbiz's most prominent couples in the UK.
Les was 40 when he tied the knot with 23-year-old starlet Amanda, but their high-profile marriage came crashing down five years later.
It was revealed that Amanda had been having an affair with Line of Duty star Neil Morrissey, spelling the end of her and Les.
The couple officially separated in 2002 and divorced a year later.

Les revealed he 'should have known' that his marriage was doomed even before the betrayal came to light.
In a chat with Richard Herring, he said that everyone was ‘waiting’ for their marriage to go wrong, but joked that ‘nobody told [him]’.
However, a throwaway comment from a handyman has remained rooted in his memory.

Les explained: "I remember one day in our house in Highgate, it was Grand National Day, and the plumber was there to fix the washing machine.
"And Amanda came running and said, ‘we need to put a bet on’, so [I gave her] ten quid and she went, ‘oh we need to put more than that on’.
"So I went, ‘twenty?’ And the plumber went, ‘kids, eh?’
"Maybe I should have known then."

It turns out the short statement also firmly lodged itself in Amanda's memory.
Replying to a fan in June 2019 who shared the clip of Les, that has since been recirculated, she wrote: "I remember this."
She added three laughing emojis as well as a heart at the end of her tweet, proving there is no hard feelings between the pair.

Les reiterated this sentiment earlier this year, explaining that he doesn't harbour any ill will towards his ex or Neil Morrissey.
He said that he's 'happy that she's happy' and he has now 'healed' from the affair.
The former Family Fortunes presenter told The Times: "Amanda was in the papers recently, saying some nice things about me.
"That was very kind of her.
"Maybe with time she has been able to look back and see things differently. We’re not in touch but I am happy that she’s happy."
He went on: "I can watch Britain's Got Talent without getting angry. To be honest it’s like watching a different person, someone I’ve never met.
"All the hurt that has happened has been healed."
I wonder if the plumber still remembers his words as well as these two do.
