How do you say, ‘Could you please move away and observe this distancing?’ It’s quite hard!
The encounter angered the ITV host as she told viewers: “I was in the supermarket the other day and I had my gloves on, my mask on, and I was picking up potatoes.
“Suddenly this big hairy arm came across, literally a man leaning over me.
“I just went, ‘Excuse me!’ And he looked at me as if he didn’t know what I was talking about. And then I stopped because I didn’t want to cause a scene.”

She added: “But how do you say, ‘Could you please move away and observe this distancing?’ It’s quite hard.”
Husband Eamonn tried to lighten the mood by joking that the owner of the hairy arm should come forward and identify himself.
The discussion on today’s This Morning programme formed a wider discussion after the backlash against Government official Dominic Cummings over the weekend.
He was accused of flouting lockdown rules by travelling from London to his parents’ home in Durham on two separate occasions.
Viewers shared their experiences on Twitter
Viewers on Twitter also shared their experience of social distancing fails, as one user said: “People still struggling with keeping their distance once you get inside any given store.”
Another said: “What [bleep] lock down? No one’s been taking it seriously for about three weeks now.”
Some viewers joked that Cummings might even join in the viewer phone-in about lockdown rule breakers.
