It was at this point that Lorraine decided to have a bit of fun with Bradley.

But there is there’s chemistry c’mon.

“I think maybe Anne but the flirting between you two might be a bit embarrassing but…” she joked.

The audience then burst into laughter, and Lorraine couldn’t help but laugh either.

“But there is there’s chemistry c’mon,” she said.

“There is not Lorraine!” he protested, before introducing the Beast, aka Mark Labbett.
