Lorraine Kelly told an Emmerdale guest to "behave" himself after he complimented her appearance.
Emile John, who plays Ethan Anderson, appeared on the ITV morning show on Thursday to talk about the soap. Emile is currently the centre of a major storyline and told Lorraine how the show will take a "sinister" turn.
This will be when newcomer Jordan (Jack Parr), who the lawyer is representing, will turn on him, reports the Daily Express. It comes after Jordan turned violent with Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) in a racially motivated attack.

But as the interview came to a close, Lorraine told off Emile when he complimented her appearance. Lorraine said: "Meanwhile, we can see you tonight at 7.30pm on ITV. Don't forget it is on for an hour."
Emile said: "Yep. A big hour special which is fantastic and just keep doing what you're doing. The cameras don't lie by the way. Just as beautiful as ever."
Lorraine said: "Behave yourself, I shall dine out on that. She added: "I didn't pay him to say that, honestly." Discussing the scenes which aired on Thursday, the actor said: "I mean, some of the lines and some of the dialogue that's used is kind of vile. It's uncomfortable.
"It's uncomfortable to hear as a male but it kind of fuelled my responses in that regard and my responses were true because hearing that, I probably wouldn't have the kind of temperament that Ethan does. You know, Ethan does it in the only way he knows how to."
When asked about what he thinks of the storyline educating younger people, Emile said: "When I was at school, I had to sort of let it slide with regards to being black. At the time you might think that you know, that was funny, that was a joke.
"But, you know, with this sort of Black Lives movement, I just feel like there is more licence to call people out. Whereas before, I might sort of internalise certain digs and racial slurs and that would lead to some self-deprecation and self-hatred, which just isn't good for me. "
He added: "So yeah, this movement, I just feel like things probably haven't changed fully, but it's progress."
