"Well, we've congratulated Chris on his birthday... so Taika are there wedding bells?" Schofield probed.

He then pretended to have earpiece issues, which had been a running gag throughout the interview.

"What? Sorry, you're breaking up, nope, gone!" he joked tossing the earpiece out effectively ending the interview.
