A grinning Emile replied: "That was back in lockdown one. "I just thought I'd focus on my fitness since there is nothing else to do, so why not get into shape. I really took it seriously and I started running and lifting more weights.

"I'd been working out with a friend who is a PT. Being on TV you need to look good and be prepared." Lorraine joked: "I wish I had done what you had done. I got through lockdown by hovering by the fridge and eating."

A flirty Emile cheekily replied: "Lorraine, you don't need to do that. You are beautiful." A slightly flushed Lorraine beamed: "You are charmer. You can come back any time."
