"You smell like how I wanted you to."
"Do I?" asked Ben. "How do I smell?'
Susanna interjected, saying: "Like Ben Shephard," to which Daisy burst out laughing, adding: "Like bunny rabbits."
Ben, who is married to wife Annie, then went on to say: "It's taken a long time for us to meet properly Daisy. You've had a huge impact on my life since you professed your affections for me."

When quizzed by Susanna about when her fondness for Ben began, Daisy explained: "When I was younger I think. You were on my television and I've never looked back since. You are the most beautiful man in the world, it's like you're chiseled from marble."
Clearly flattered by her remarks, Ben replied: "Do you think so? That's really lovely of you."
Susanna cheekily added: "Have you seen his abs? Because he was once the cover boy of Men's Health" prompting laughter to erupt from her co-host and their guest.
