Family Feud’s Steve Harvey has been left in disbelief after a player named him as a TV host that women fantasized over – prompting entertained viewers to say it looked like he was having a heart attack.
During Tuesday’s episode, the stunned game show presenter, 67, doubled over following contestant Ava’s quick-fire assuredness, before pleading for his name to not be on the board.
It all kicked off when Steve asked: ‘What TV host past or present have you had romantic fantasies about?’
Without hesitation, Ava buzzed in and said ‘Steve Harvey’ before smacking her hand to her mouth and gasping.
‘Watch yourself little girl, watch yourself,’ Steve replied, before asking for her age.

‘I’m 24,’ Ava revealed, prompting a doubly shocked Steve to cringe, ‘Oh God, no.’

The studio audience erupted with laughter and Steve instantly bent over in recoil.

Taking to Instagram, one pointed out: ‘He had a heart attack.’
Echoing a similar sentiment, another said: ‘The way he just died twice.’

In June, a clip resurfaced which showed Steve high fiving a contestant’s husband after his wife gave him a risqué answer.
In the scene, the gameplay was momentarily derailed when Steve asked both families to ‘name a place you are where you hold on.’
After her family members had already correctly guessed rollercoaster, speedboat, and airplane, contestant Jeni couldn’t help but hazard a cheeky guess and answered ‘the bedroom.’
The studio erupted in applause at the saucy quip, with her loved ones cheering, while her husband, Lance, immediately went in for a double high-five.
