SCARLET! John Travolta brings cringey dad to a new level on Ellen

Dating and driving are two issues which absolutely CONSUMED us as teenagers, but to have them discussed by our dad on national television is legitimately the stuff of nightmares.

The thoughts of Pops weighing in on what we 'do' with guys has us reaching for a sick bucket, so hats off to Ella Travolta who managed to keep her lunch down while her dad, John, discussed her dating life with everybody's favourite host, Ellen De Generes.

Having endured her father's bizarre take on the 16-year-old's shifting habits, the high-schooler was then put to the test behind the wheel while John and Ellen pretended not to pee their pants.

Is it just us or was that experience the kind which leaves you bathed in a cold sweat at four in the morning?
