Video transcript
ROMESH RANGANATHAN: Aisling Bea is in it. We're really lucky to get her in it. I think Aisling is amazing.
LORRAINE KELLY: [INAUDIBLE]
ROMESH RANGANATHAN: She came into the show as kind of Jonathan's distraction I guess, kind of another love interest. And we had a scene where we had to kiss. And I'm really good mates with Aisling. And it was just-- it was just deeply uncomfortable. Do you know what I mean? And not because-- You know, Aisling is great and lovely and an attractive woman, and I don't want to-- I don't want that going viral.
[LAUGHING]
But, you know, it's just that weird thing of like you've been mates for such a long time.
LORRAINE KELLY: Yeah.
ROMESH RANGANATHAN: And then sort of kissing, it just feels strange, you know.
LORRAINE KELLY: Yeah.
ROMESH RANGANATHAN: And kissing anyone apart from my wife feels strange. And, in fact, kissing my wife feels strange.
[LAUGHING]
We'd been married for long enough that that feels like a novelty as well.
