FAMILY Feud host Steve Harvey has gotten a bit of an ego boost after one of the contestant’s answers hit a little close to home during Wednesday’s episode.

The TV personality has reacted to the compliment with a cheeky response of his own.

Shortly into Wednesday’s episode of Family Feud, the players were tasked with giving the top answers to a question all about one’s attractiveness.

Steve asked them to “name a way a woman might say she likes her men and her cheese.”

When it came time for a young contestant named David to answer, he quickly told the 66-year-old host: “Aged!”

David’s family all clapped for his response, while Steve stood there, a smile growing on his face.

Wearing a double-breasted green suit, the host posed with one hand in his pocket as he looked out into the crowd and gave a flirty wink.

“Aged,” Steve said. “Get you a man who knows something.”

The host went on about the merits of a woman going out with an older man, saying they “know what to do.”

He added: “Got his money right. Change your life. Stop all that struggling. Go on and sit down somewhere.”

Lucky for David and his team, it wasn’t only Steve who liked his answer but so did the game board, which revealed “aged” as the top four response.

Last week, a contestant left Steve stunned and confused when she claimed they had been “sleeping together for 12 years.”

The player, Darlene, looked nervous as she began: “I just have to tell you one thing if you don’t mind?”

“We need to go ahead and let the cat out of the bag,” Darlene continued, before adding: “You and I have been sleeping together for 12 years.”

As the audience gasped, Steve looked genuinely taken aback and joked: “That’s way more than the cat!”

Clarifying what she meant, Darlene added: “I have managed to fall asleep to you for the past 12 years!”

“Oh thank you, Jesus!” Steve responded, sounding relieved.

The Instagram post was captioned: “Darlene’s secret makes #SteveHarvey sweat! MEOW. #FamilyFeud,” and fans thought it was hilarious.

Taking to the comments section, one person wrote: “That was hysterical! Look at Steve’s reaction. He is funny as hell. I love this show!!”

Another person said: “His reactions all the time,” while a third joked: “Steve got some explaining to do.”

Referring to Steve’s wife Marjorie, someone else commented: “Steve was scared that Marjorie was going to ask him about it as soon as he got home when it aired.”
