During the skit, Ricky was asked to hold the microphone, but prankster Stephen kept trying to wind him up.
Holly stated, “Just hit him Ricky, please.”
Ricky then delivered a convincing left hook to him, and he flipped live on air as part of the routine.
Holly, who returned to television tonight after a three-month hiatus, looked shocked at first but then cheered the joke.

Ricky found himself at the bottom of the rankings tonight – he got 12.5 points from the judges.
Dressed in boxing gear, Ricky wore knee pads as he repeated boxing moves on the ice and did push-ups to Bill Conti’s Rocky movie tune Gonna Fly Now with his skating partner Robin Johnstone.
Judge Ashley Banjo said it was “iconic” and said he could be proud of the crowd’s reaction.
Before his first skate, Ricky received a video message from boxer Tyson Fury saying “good luck”.
Tyson said, “Hi Rick. Tyson Fury here.
“I’m in the training camp with undisputed, I used this time to wish you lots of luck with Dancing on Ice.
“All the best guys. Do your best.
“Knock them out, Rick!”
It comes after Ricky revealed the brutal warning his children gave him before the show.
Ricky said: “My kids Millie and Fearne, they said, ‘Oh my God, Dad. Don’t embarrass us.’
– That fills you with confidence, doesn’t it?
Unfortunately, Ricky could face elimination next week after the public vote, meaning he’ll be on the slide.
