This Morning fans were left gobsmacked today after a guest on the show admitted to taking four weird-looking elf dolls to bed because ‘they’re nice to cuddle’
This Morning fans have been left horrified after a guest on the show made a bizarre brag about his sleeping arrangements.
Viewers had tuned into the ITV daytime show hoping for some Christmas cheer, however they were gobsmacked when Nick Rawet opened up about his £15,000 ‘cuddly’ elf collection.
Joining the show via video from his home in North Wales, Nick sat alongside his unusual family members, one of whom, ‘Saoirse’, was sporting pixie ears – and a low-cut top. Proudly revealing the identities of his dolls, he said: “The one to my right is Foreshe, she’s a forest elf. I call her the Gaelic in glass because she is green.”
Going down the line, Nick continued: “This is Eshe, she’s a drow elf or night elf or a dark elf. This one is Saoirse, she’s a silver elf. She’s the princess guardian of Cavina, who is the queen elf. She’s the gold elf.”

Admitting he took the full-sized dolls to bed because they were “nice to cuddle”, Nick said his relationship with the elves, who sported a variety of multi-coloured wigs and extra terrestrial make-up, wasn’t sexual, insisting: “No, no, I mean they’re wearing more clothes than what most women do. They’re nice to cuddle.
“It’s better than just cuddling the sadness of a pillow and the lovely thing is they actually warm up because they have metal skeletons, they actually retain the warmth. As long has they have the bed covers on them you can potter around and get back into bed and they’re still lovely and warm.”
When asked about people’s reactions to the dolls, he admitted strangers ‘can be shocked’, sharing: “Strangers to the house come in and they’re a little bit shocked, especially when they see Cavina, because she’s so tall. She can be a bit scary, which was the idea,” he giggled, before adding: “But normally people are just a bit fascinated by them and it’s surprising how many people come out of the woodwork about how they like Lord of The Rings, Elves, and all that sort of thing.”
Following the segment, fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts, with several slamming This Morning for “scraping the barrel”.
One user exclaimed: “Just spat out me tea! Take her to bed?'” A second mused: “Taking Elf on the Shelf to the extreme.” A third said: “How to do a segment in sex dolls without saying sex dolls” while a fourth felt sorry for Nick, saying: “Feeling slightly sorry for him now saying it something to cuddle. Someone please get him a friend.”
