A member of the This Morning crew mistook a sex doll for Holly Willoughby on Tuesday.
The presenter, 39, joked about the mishap with her co-host Phillip Schofield, 58, after interviewing a woman who has a sex doll business.
'A member of the crew, I won’t say who it was, came in this morning and thought it was me sat on the sofa! Shocking!' Holly exclaimed.
To which Phil added. jokingly: 'They did and they said, my God did you have a rough night out last night?'
Referring to the doll, Holly asked Phil: 'Have you replaced me already? You’ve upgraded me for a better model!'
Phil was seen laughing with the giant Barbie-like doll, who sat between them on the couch.
The figure was life-sized, blonde, and wearing a kimono-style dress.
The interview with the doll woman caused its usual titters among the presenting pair, who grilled her on where one stores a sex toy of such size.
'Where do you put them?' Phil asked. 'Next to the hoover under the stairs?' Holly suggested.
'We have storage boxes,' the lady replied.
'Where do you put that? Where does the storage go?' Phil pushed.
'You can put things on top of the boxes. A lot of people put them in their shower with them!' she replied.
Grimacing at that, Holly added: 'Imagine how freaked out you’d be if you went to that person's houses.'

'Every time a restriction would come into place, I would see surges and these dolls are very much companion dolls. When people come to my website they’re looking for more than just a sex toy.
'This is a companion, this is someone to sit in your home and bring a lot of happiness into people’s lives.'
'You've seen an increase in sales of male dolls, haven't you?' asked host Holly Willoughby.
Jade's sex dolls can cost up to £8,000 and can be equipped with AI and respond to the stimuli sent by their users. They can talk, move and act on the fantasies of their owners
'I have,' she replied, 'A really large increase in male dolls, there’s a really big market, and transexual dolls as well.'
She added that there's been increased demand from couples who want a 'safe threesome'.
'I’m actually in the process of setting up a pop-up shop because couples usually want to view the doll before they purchase,' she said.
The businesswoman appeared alongside one of her male sex dolls called Jessie even treated hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to a look at another one of her dolls she's sent to the studio.
Jade, who has been married to husband Elliot for 14 years and has four children, explained that many of her customers view their dolls as a 'presence' in the same way as they would their pet.

She explained that some customers buy their dolls simply so they can prop it up in a chair, or pose it lying in their bed.
'It is the fact I have customers who buy dolls to just sit in the chair or lie in a bed and that, unfortunately, does take the place of a real person, said Jade.
Jade's most expensive dolls cost up to £8,000, but customers are able to design their companion in any way they want
'Social media has made people interactive online but not outside, this is a really COVID safe way of having psychical interaction with someone'.

'You make the doll completely bespoke to your liking', Jade explained, 'You choose everything, the dimensions of the doll you’d have, the hair implanted which looks better, you choose every aspect of that doll.
'That again has brought a lot of comfort to people, if that’s what people want to do who are we to judge?'

Buying a sex doll? Read this first - A Sex Doll Buyers Guide For Beginners
Where can I buy authentic real sex dolls & how do I avoid scam sites? Got questions? Don't worry... This guide will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know before buying your first love doll.
The purpose of this guide is to ensure newcomers and first-time buyers who are less familiar with the sex doll market do not get scammed or tricked into buying something they will regret.
What is a sex doll?
Chances are, you already know what a sex doll is, but just in case... A sex doll is a life-size silicone or TPE doll that you can have sex with. A super-duper human sex toy, if you like.
Also referred to as Love dolls, real dolls, silicone sex dolls, silicone lovers, companions, real-life sex dolls, and lots of other fancy names...
How do I avoid scammers?
Let's jump right into it. The first rule of buying sex dolls:
If you want an authentic love doll, it might be best to avoid sites like eBay, Amazon or Ali-Express, they are often lots of un-verified sellers selling fake/ replica sex doll on these sites.
Why?
Unfortunately, many sex dolls you see on eBay and Aliexpress, in particular, are FAKE*. We have notified eBay of this countless times, but unfortunately, they don't seem to be interested or recognise that counterfeit sex dolls even exist!
*Update - D4E now sell legitimate sex dolls on Aliexpress.
So what is a fake sex doll?
A fake sex doll is counterfeit or replica sex doll made with stolen designs in an unauthorised and dodgy factory with zero credentials/safety inspections/quality control. The factories buy a genuine doll from a legitimate manufacturer and replicate it in their own factory, they steal the original manufacturer's authentic photos and use them as bait to catch customers. Just like you see with designer handbags that fall apart after one month that just don't look right, this is the same thing, but with sex dolls. It's a complete fraud. The doll you receive will look similar to the photos, but will be significantly poorer quality, with zero guarantees on production, zero safety checks and will not comply with worldwide quality control legislation to ensure your safety, it's also a stolen design and criminal offence, and there's no guarantee your doll won't arrive damaged or just fall apart in a few weeks. If you do buy a cheap fake from eBay, that's exactly what you will get, a cheap fake doll. We have heard horror stories of people receiving blow-up dolls coated in silicone or dolls with no actual vagina or anus - now where's the fun in that? Be careful out there people, I know everyone likes a bargain and it's very tempting to seek out the cheapest possible doll you can find, but a little patience, a little research and a little knowledge will go a long way in making sure you don't get scammed.
How can we be certain that they are selling fakes?
They are not authorised or registered doll vendors and offer zero money-back guarantees. The easiest way to check this is to contact the manufacturer yourself and ask if the site you are purchasing from is a registered vendor. If they're not, then they're fake.
They're selling their dolls as unbranded, or at least not advertising the brand, yet they are using official WM-Dolls professional photos. WM-Dolls are the leading sex doll manufacturer in the world, the Nike of sex dolls if you will... It's like using Nike's professional photos to sell Fake Nike Air Max trainers and then claiming that you design the trainers yourself and that you make them yourself in your own workshop, it's ridiculous.
Scammers sell their dolls at a fraction of the price of authentic dolls, in fact, they are selling them for cheaper than the WHOLESALE price of authentic WM-Dolls. Sounds too good to be true right? Because it is. Although lately, we've seen scammers charging full price for their dolls, so this isn't a reliable measure of authenticity on its own.
So where can I buy a sex doll from then?
When looking for a reliable vendor, the most important thing to ensure is that they are not selling fake sex dolls (Obviously). There are many online stores that offer silicone sex dolls, ranging from low-end basic dolls to high-end hand-finished masterpieces.
Nearly ALL verified vendors can be found on 'The Doll Forum', please be sure to visit their site for any and all information about sex dolls that you'll ever need:
An authentic vendor will always offer you a money-back guarantee. They will provide detailed information on the manufacturer and provide detailed photos of the exact sex doll you receive, they will be able to offer customisation and they will have a registered address in the country that they operate from. They will advertise their quality control processes and specialise in the sale of sex dolls only. They will be able to answer any questions you have and offer sound advice before you make any purchase so you can be certain you are making the right choice.
We are a registered and authorised sex doll vendor, located in the UK. Please feel free to contact us directly to check our credentials using the contact form here. We are happy to answer any questions and are always here to give advice.
You don't even need to buy from us, you can just come to us for free advice if you like. We are dedicated to making sure people get an authentic doll, period.
So...Thinking of buying a sex doll? Not sure?
Are you a bit "on the fence" about buying a sex doll? Well, you might like to know that sex dolls actually hold their value very well and have a high resale value. If you change your mind later on, many vendors actually offer a ‘buy-back’ service on their dolls (if you inquire). You can also resell them on The Doll Forum.
Is it strange to want a sex doll? Will people judge me?
No, the sex doll industry is growing rapidly- we believe it will be considered very normal to have a sex doll in the future. We see first hand the types of people that are interested in sex dolls, and I can tell you now, you probably already know someone who has one…If you're worried about what people think, just join the doll forum and you'll be instantly amongst like-minded friends.
Are sex dolls only for men? Do women like sex dolls?
No, sex dolls are for anyone who wants one. The majority of sales are currently to males, but approximately 10% of all sales are male dolls sold to female buyers. Many couples also buy sex dolls to add a little fun into their sex life.
What are the top 5 things I should consider before buying my first sex doll?
The top 5 things to consider when buying a sex doll (that are often overlooked):
Quality and Price
Authenticity
Storage & Weight
Manufacturer & Vendors
Customisations.
1. Quality & price:
We would recommend buying a mid to high range doll.
This will ensure an optimum price/ quality ratio for first-time buyers and ensure an excellent experience. What is a mid to high range doll? A mid to high range doll is a doll built by a reputable and experienced manufacturer using high-quality materials, excellent product designs, sold by a supplier that offers a money-back guarantee and has a variety of custom doll options available. Prices generally range from £1,500 - £2,500 for a mid to high-end doll in the UK and $2000+ in the USA.
Should I buy a cheap sex doll?
Cheap sex dolls are just that, cheap. We would not recommend buying a cheap sex doll for the following reasons;
No money-back guarantee
Often Fakes or imitation products
Materials used are generally inferior and can be toxic.
Short "life" expectancy of the product (ie material can split)
Limited quality control or attention to detail
Dolls are often damaged in transit
Poor design and workmanship
No CE or health & safety standards certificate
Inexperienced and/or unknown manufacturers
Expensive shipping
Unexpected customs costs and taxes
You may not receive the product at all.
If you are taking the leap into the sex doll world, get the real thing. We understand that it can be a little expensive, but there are ways of financing them without breaking the bank. We offer interest-free CREDIT on our site so you can split payments over a time period that suits you best, check it out here.
With that in mind, There is no need to go out and spend £10,000 on a high-end super-duper high-spec doll (You wouldn't buy a Ferrari as your first car)...Likewise, if you buy cheap, you buy twice. A cheap doll like a cheap car needs fixing or scrapping way sooner than you might think.
The smart move is to get a mid to high range doll. You will get exceptional quality, excellent design features and an ultra-realistic sex doll, plus- it's a solid investment, you really can't go wrong.
2. Authenticity:
Like everything in the world, avoid fakes and scammers. It doesn't need too much explanation, but there are some people out there selling fake dolls purely for financial gain. At Silicone Lovers, we are building a reputable worldwide brand that puts customer service and user experience as our number one priority.
If you want to know more about us, just click the link here.
3. Storage and weight:
People often skip these important factors... But you might get a surprise when you handle your doll for the first time...
Why is this important?
Sex Dolls are big, they can be heavy, and they need to be stored properly.
Most dolls can be moved by yourself, but always check the weight before you buy to avoid any surprises, some dolls weigh over 50KG (that's a lot), if you are concerned, go for a lighter model, there are many available. Any good supplier will be able to advise on the weight of the doll you are interested in buying.
Think of your new doll as a long-term investment that needs to be stored and looked after properly to ensure a long and prosperous life... Sex dolls can be stored in their original packaging box, or a flight case, or can be hung in a wardrobe with a special hanging attachment available at most suppliers. For more info on storage, check out our maintenance guide here.
4. Manufacturers & Suppliers:
Manufacturers are not to be confused with suppliers (Also know as Vendors). Manufacturers are the companies that design, fabricate and make sex dolls, they are the "creators" of these fine products, from concept to completion, they are the gods of sex dolls if you like...
Suppliers are the online shops that have permission and authority from the manufactures to supply sex dolls to customers.
There are good ones and bad ones of both manufacturers and suppliers.
What makes a good manufacturer? A good manufacturer is a manufacturer that specialises in the production of excellently designed, tried and tested, high-quality sex dolls and nothing else. They offer hundreds of moulded designs and customisation options for all types of sex dolls. A good manufacturer has extensive experience in the production of sex dolls and a long history in the industry, they meet worldwide safety standards and have excellent communication departments who have with a worldwide communication reach, they have extensive quality control measures and ensure a high-quality product line.
A bad manufacturer is inexperienced and often purchases a single doll from a good manufacturer with the intention to replicate it without any of the extensive knowledge or know-how that goes into the fabrication of these wonderful sex dolls (avoid at all times). Expect poor quality materials, sloppy workmanship, poor communication, little knowledge of Sex Dolls etc.
A 'good supplier' has a working relationship with 'good manufacturers', offers a money-back guarantee on all purchases and has extensive knowledge of the industry. A good supplier is authorised to sell high-quality sex dolls and is registered with HMRC to import products globally (If operating from the UK). A good supplier will always prioritise customer satisfaction and quality products over a "quick buck".
A 'bad supplier' works with and enables the 'bad manufacturers', together they are basically scammers selling fakes and poor quality rubbish for a high price tag. They can be easily spotted on sites like eBay or gumtree, some even have proper websites and are selling fake dolls for cheaper than the original manufacturer. Don't fall for it- do the research.
We consider ourselves 'good vendors'. We are in this game for the long run, and you don't get far in this business by offering poor service and poor quality products. We don't like receiving poor customer service, so we certainly don't give it out.
We have a specific protocol that we follow when choosing our preferred manufacturers to ensure we only provide the very best sex dolls available today.
What is the difference between TPE dolls and Silicone dolls?
TPE vs SILICONE: The big debate!
TPE:
Softer to touch.
More flexible. Meaning the dolls are more flexible.
Good conductor of heat, but sensitive to excessive heat.
Cheaper.
Hypoallergenic material. (Won't cause allergic reactions).
Vulnerable to stains.
Sticky to touch without talcum powder.
Porous material. Moisture left inside openings can result in mould growing if not kept maintained properly.
Harder to sterilise due to pours nature.
SILICONE:
More detailed and realistic features.
Can retain heat, less sensitive to excessive heat.
Easy to clean
Easy to sterilise
Resistant to stains
Low maintenance
Hypoallergenic.
More expensive.
Sticky to touch without talcum powder.
Not as soft to touch
Less realistic “wobble”
We personally prefer TPE, but it’s a personal decision in the end…
What is the difference between a real doll, a love doll and a silicone sex doll?
Nothing, just different names for the same thing. They are all sex dolls. Some are made from a different material but they all serve the same purpose.
Is a sex doll a toy?
Yes. An Adult toy.
What’s the real story?
Some of the first sex dolls were invented by Dutch sailors in the seventeenth century who would be isolated at sea during long voyages. These masturbatory dolls referred to by the French as ‘dame de voyage’ and by the Spanish as ‘dama de Viaje’, were made of sewn cloth or old clothes and were a direct predecessor to today's sex dolls. The Dutch sold some of these dolls to Japanese people during the Rangaku period, and the term "Dutch wives" is still sometimes used in Japan to refer to sex dolls.
What happens if I damage my doll?
Sex dolls can get damaged, it happens. But do not fear, most damage is reparable. Many suppliers offer a repair service directly with them, or they will sell a repair kit if you are up for the challenge yourself. It’s not too complicated to fix a tear in the silicone or TPE, but it does need to be done correctly. There are videos on youtube but best to contact your vendor direct as dolls can vary and you need to know what you're doing.
How do I clean a sex doll?
Cleaning a sex doll is a bit like cleaning yourself, you can bathe a sex doll in the bath, have a shower, or pat down with a clean cloth with soapy warm water. For in-depth information on cleaning a doll, check out our cleaning page here.
Looking for a reliable sex doll supplier with a money-back guarantee on all purchases?
Look no further…
We offer the best quality and best value dolls on the market. We are so confident, we offer a money-back guarantee on every dol purchase made at Silicone Lovers.
The purpose of this guide is to ensure newcomers and first-time buyers who are less familiar with the sex doll market do not get scammed or tricked into buying something they will regret.

3. Storage and weight:
People often skip these important factors... But you might get a surprise when you handle your doll for the first time...
Why is this important?
Sex Dolls are big, they can be heavy, and they need to be stored properly.
Most dolls can be moved by yourself, but always check the weight before you buy to avoid any surprises, some dolls weigh over 50KG (that's a lot), if you are concerned, go for a lighter model, there are many available. Any good supplier will be able to advise on the weight of the doll you are interested in buying.
Think of your new doll as a long-term investment that needs to be stored and looked after properly to ensure a long and prosperous life... Sex dolls can be stored in their original packaging box, or a flight case, or can be hung in a wardrobe with a special hanging attachment available at most suppliers. For more info on storage, check out our maintenance guide here.
4. Manufacturers & Suppliers:
Manufacturers are not to be confused with suppliers (Also know as Vendors). Manufacturers are the companies that design, fabricate and make sex dolls, they are the "creators" of these fine products, from concept to completion, they are the gods of sex dolls if you like...
Suppliers are the online shops that have permission and authority from the manufactures to supply sex dolls to customers.
There are good ones and bad ones of both manufacturers and suppliers.
What makes a good manufacturer? A good manufacturer is a manufacturer that specialises in the production of excellently designed, tried and tested, high-quality sex dolls and nothing else. They offer hundreds of moulded designs and customisation options for all types of sex dolls. A good manufacturer has extensive experience in the production of sex dolls and a long history in the industry, they meet worldwide safety standards and have excellent communication departments who have with a worldwide communication reach, they have extensive quality control measures and ensure a high-quality product line.
A bad manufacturer is inexperienced and often purchases a single doll from a good manufacturer with the intention to replicate it without any of the extensive knowledge or know-how that goes into the fabrication of these wonderful sex dolls (avoid at all times). Expect poor quality materials, sloppy workmanship, poor communication, little knowledge of Sex Dolls etc.
A 'good supplier' has a working relationship with 'good manufacturers', offers a money-back guarantee on all purchases and has extensive knowledge of the industry. A good supplier is authorised to sell high-quality sex dolls and is registered with HMRC to import products globally (If operating from the UK). A good supplier will always prioritise customer satisfaction and quality products over a "quick buck".
A 'bad supplier' works with and enables the 'bad manufacturers', together they are basically scammers selling fakes and poor quality rubbish for a high price tag. They can be easily spotted on sites like eBay or gumtree, some even have proper websites and are selling fake dolls for cheaper than the original manufacturer. Don't fall for it- do the research.
We consider ourselves 'good vendors'. We are in this game for the long run, and you don't get far in this business by offering poor service and poor quality products. We don't like receiving poor customer service, so we certainly don't give it out.
We have a specific protocol that we follow when choosing our preferred manufacturers to ensure we only provide the very best sex dolls available today.
What is the difference between TPE dolls and Silicone dolls?
TPE vs SILICONE: The big debate!
TPE:
Softer to touch.
More flexible. Meaning the dolls are more flexible.
Good conductor of heat, but sensitive to excessive heat.
Cheaper.
Hypoallergenic material. (Won't cause allergic reactions).
Vulnerable to stains.
Sticky to touch without talcum powder.
Porous material. Moisture left inside openings can result in mould growing if not kept maintained properly.
Harder to sterilise due to pours nature.
SILICONE:
More detailed and realistic features.
Can retain heat, less sensitive to excessive heat.
Easy to clean
Easy to sterilise
Resistant to stains
Low maintenance
Hypoallergenic.
More expensive.
Sticky to touch without talcum powder.
Not as soft to touch
Less realistic “wobble”
We personally prefer TPE, but it’s a personal decision in the end…
What is the difference between a real doll, a love doll and a silicone sex doll?
Nothing, just different names for the same thing. They are all sex dolls. Some are made from a different material but they all serve the same purpose.
Is a sex doll a toy?
Yes. An Adult toy.
What’s the real story?
Some of the first sex dolls were invented by Dutch sailors in the seventeenth century who would be isolated at sea during long voyages. These masturbatory dolls referred to by the French as ‘dame de voyage’ and by the Spanish as ‘dama de Viaje’, were made of sewn cloth or old clothes and were a direct predecessor to today's sex dolls. The Dutch sold some of these dolls to Japanese people during the Rangaku period, and the term "Dutch wives" is still sometimes used in Japan to refer to sex dolls.
What happens if I damage my doll?
Sex dolls can get damaged, it happens. But do not fear, most damage is reparable. Many suppliers offer a repair service directly with them, or they will sell a repair kit if you are up for the challenge yourself. It’s not too complicated to fix a tear in the silicone or TPE, but it does need to be done correctly. There are videos on youtube but best to contact your vendor direct as dolls can vary and you need to know what you're doing.
How do I clean a sex doll?
Cleaning a sex doll is a bit like cleaning yourself, you can bathe a sex doll in the bath, have a shower, or pat down with a clean cloth with soapy warm water. For in-depth information on cleaning a doll, check out our cleaning page here.
Looking for a reliable sex doll supplier with a money-back guarantee on all purchases?
Look no further…
We offer the best quality and best value dolls on the market. We are so confident, we offer a money-back guarantee on every dol purchase made at Silicone Lovers.
What is a robot sex doll, are there sex robot brothels in Paris and Italy and how much do they cost?
The robots are becoming more sophisticated by the day and manufacturers claim customers are tying the knot with theirs
ROBOT sex dolls are increasingly big business and manufacturers are claiming their products are so lifelike people are even marrying them.
The UK's first sex doll brothel opened earlier this year - though in Italy one was shut down. Here's everything you need to know about the growing phenomenon.
What are sex robots?
Robots already build our cars, clean our houses and make our food – now manufacturers are offering life-like, moving dolls for “private fun”.
Sex robots are essentially realistic dolls that have sophisticated movements that closely mimic humans so that they can romp.
Sexbots are hyper-realistic with features such as built-in heaters to create the feeling of body warmth.
They also have sensors to react to your touch.

One company is even developing a head that can speak, smile, and sing for its robot sex dolls, while sex doll Harmony is the first to offer an "emotional connection".
Experts say these specialized robots will start to appear in ordinary homes in the next decade, as lonely humans look for love.

Who is Samantha the sex robot?
Samantha is one of the hyper-realistic dolls to be released into the growing market of lifelike sex dolls.
Sergi Santos, the designer of the love machine Samantha, said the amorous android was so erotic that men were already developing real feelings for her.
Makers claim she can be "seduced" as she comes complete with sensors in her face, hands, breasts and "the female genitals down below" so requires a more subtle approach than her forebears.
The doll's creator even says she can spot nice people because she has a "moral code".
What is the sex doll brothel in Paris and why have women been replaced with blow-up dolls?
A sex doll brothel was opened in Paris in February 2018, for randy punters who prefer romping with plastic instead of real women.
The sex club has several rooms and customers are offered the services of a silicone model instead of a prostitute.
Pictures from inside show four different dolls of different shapes, colors, and sizes dressed in skimpy lingerie while the rooms are adorned with images of other sex robots.
It comes after Britain's first "sex doll brothel" opened - where customers are offered a "try before you buy" service on an industrial estate in Gateshead.
In September 2018, a sex robot brothel in Italy was shut down by police less than two weeks after it opened.
Lumidolls' bordello in Turin was closed after alleged infringements of property law, Italian media reported.

How much is a sex robot?
Personalized sex robots can cost tens of thousands of pounds.
However much cheaper models are also available in the growing market.
As technology is more widely used, the price of sex robots is expected to fall increasing their use.
This parlor in London will set you back £50 for half an hour with one doll, while two hours costs £130.
Are people really marrying them and can the dolls 'cheat'?
According to RealDoll, a company behind a range of startlingly lifelike sex robots, the futuristic lovers are actually saving the lives of the lonely men who wed them.
A spokesperson for the company said the most popular use for the bots is still as a purely sexual partner.
But they added: "There are many reasons we have heard from our customers, ranging from the sexual aspect to a domestic partner to art pieces enjoyed simply for their beauty.
"While we believe we provide a product that has many applications we are sometimes astounded at the impact we make on some customer’s lives.
"We have had customers marry their dolls, say that we had saved their lives because they felt like they had nothing to live for after the death of a spouse or the end of a relationship."
Robotics psychologist Rebekah Rousi has said: "We have to consider if robots will have their own sexual desires and what will motivate these desires.
“If the end goal is to create autonomous robots that are capable of independent thinking and feeling, the chances of humans maintaining power within these relationships is quite marginal.”
A study also found that, if robots are programmed to see sex as a "beneficial" resource, they could begin to seek it out themselves without notifying their partners, in a sense, cheating.

Can sex robots do chores?
Chinese sex doll makers have created a robot that will laugh at your jokes – and even wash your dishes.
Lifetime Sex Doll in Miami, FL
It's the latest product from Dalian, China-based firm EXDOLL, who says she is designed to work just like the Amazon Alexa digital assistant, or Apple's Siri smart speaker.
The sex robot will use built-in microphones to listen to what you say and will be able to tell when you're joking, prompting a laughter response.
The end goal is to have her perform household chores too, like turning the dishwasher on.
But its creators say one of her main uses will be simply to provide physical comfort to owners.
