THAT'S PRECIOUS! Shock moment Aston Merrygold has his crotch grabbed during All Round To Mrs Brown’s appearance

The singer looked alarmed as Mrs Brown grabbed his goods

FORMER JLS singer Aston Merrygold was delivered a shock on All Round to Mrs Brown’s when the show host grabbed his crotch.

The awkward moment happened during Saturday night’s episode of the BBC One entertainment programme where Brendan O’Carroll’s Mrs Brown interviews celebrities.

Aston Merrygold was left cringing as he had his genitals grabbed during an appearance on All Round To Mrs Brown’s

Aston, 29, was on the show to perform his new solo single Precious when Mrs Brown asked him about his bandmates – Dwayne and Jeff.

“What’s that little thing in Jeff’s hand?” Mrs Brown asked, noticing Aston’s band player holding an instrument – that the former boyband member identified as a ukulele.

“Oh he’s going to strum his ukulele? Is he?” Mrs Brown asked – leading Aston to reveal the instrument technically belonged to him.

“I bet he’s going to strum your ukulele. We all have to do things to keep our job,” Mrs Brown said, making a cheap pun.

Aston managed to laugh off the incident before he took to the stage to perform

She then launched for the singer, her hand grabbing his genitalia through his clothes, and laughed: “If it means strumming your ukulele, away you go!”

Aston laughed off the incident, saying: “I've got to sing the high bit now as well!”

Fans on Twitter went wild for the moment and sent messages to the star.

“That was just priceless watching Ashton and MrsBrown,” wrote one viewer.

“Agnes Brown and Aston Merrygold are just comedy gold together with Aston's facial expressions,” wrote another.

While another commended Aston for keeping a cool head, tweeting: “@MrsBrownsBoys funniest episode yet!!@AstonMerrygold did well to keep it together.”

Aston himself commented on Twitter that he found the experience of appearing on the show as “hilarious”.

All Round To Mrs Brown's will return to BBC One on Saturday at 9.20pm.
