Talk about TMI.

TV veteran Barbara Walters shocked her audience on The View when she announced that she has a vibrator.

According to the 84-year-old, the sex toy even has a name: Selfie.

The incident left fellow panelist Whoopi Goldberg shaking her head, but simultaneously trying to find out more.

Though she was dressed very conservatively on the show, all it took was a throw-away phrase from Jenny McCarthy to get Walters all hot under the collar.

McCarthy asked Walters if she had more “self-confidence” or “self-love” now than when she was younger.

“Self-love?” answered Walters. As the audience burst into laughter, she continued: “Self-love okay, but it's also nice to...”.

Sensing what Walters was about to reveal, Goldberg interjected with: “Are you talking about that vibrator of yours again? I can't handle it!”

But Walters was already well into her stride.

“You know what it's called?” she asked.

“'A selfie! Selfie!”

It seems age hasn’t put a dampener (pardon the pun) on Walters’ libido.

In 2012 the TV host took on Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who was then a panelist on The View, as the two women challenged each other to reveal their bedroom secrets.

“What about you and your husband?” asked Walters. “Do you like it when he's rough?” - Tonight Reporter
