ADIL Ray was feeling flustered on Friday morning's episode of Good Morning Britain after his co-star, Melvin Odoom, revealed something he said off air.
Adil, 51, Melvin, 45, and entertainment lead Kate Garraway, 58, were discussing the upcoming movie Freakier Friday set to be released next week.

Adil had some explaining to do on Friday's show
The film features a stellar cast, including many big names such as American actress and film producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, and actress Lindsay Lohan.
Melvin couldn't help but jest when Lindsay's name entered the conversation on GMB.
'Adil, you know Lindsay, right? Are you best mates?,' Melvin said.
'When I say things off air, you're not supposed to repeat them,' quipped Adil. 'I had dinner with Lindsay, me and Lindsay had dinner together. She's lovely.'

Kate erupted with questions, in shock over the revelation.
'WHAT?! Stop, how did this happen, where were you?', Kate said, joining the conversation.
'Did you slide in the DM's?,' Melvin added.
Adil clarified: 'It wasn't a date before, you know, it wasn't a date."
The disbelief flowed two-fold for Adil's co-stars. Not only is Lindsay incredibly well-known, but she's also 12 years Adil's junior.
'We had mutual friends and we all went out for dinner,' Adil explained. 'She came along, we sat next to each other and we had a lovely evening. She's absolutely adorable, she's a fantastic human.'

Adil continued to praise the actress: 'Really smart, really intelligent and really well lived. Just great, great to hang out with. Me and Lindz.'
Melvin then changed the topic back to the highly anticipated release of Freakier Friday, though the presenters had far from let the Lindsay news go.
'Will you be watching that, Freakier Friday,' Melvin said to his co-stars.
'I loved the original so yeah, I'll definitely be watching it,' Kate responded. 'And I'll be thinking of the dinner and what might have been.'
Adil ended the segment by saying, 'Lindsay, if you're watching, do get in touch.'
Freakier Friday comes out on August 8.

Coronation Street's next landlady 'revealed' as returning legend ahead of Jenny's exit

Corrie's Sally Ann Matthews announced recently that she's leaving the ITV soap and there's now speculation that a returning star could take over as the owner of the Rovers Return The next owner of the Rovers Return on Coronation Street will reportedly be a returning character. The news comes after it was announced that actor Sally Ann Matthews, who plays landlady Jenny Connor, is set to leave the ITV show. ‌ It's been claimed that former cast member Catherine Tyldesley, 41, will be reprising her role as Eva Price, who will take over the pub. It would mark her return after a seven year absence, with her last seen in Weatherfield in 2018. ‌ Catherine is said to begin filming her return later this month ahead of viewers seeing the scenes in the autumn. It comes after ITV fans accuse Alan Titchmarsh of 'ruining' garden as foster parents were left sobbing. ‌ READ MORE: Top Gear host admits he 'never got along' with Jeremy Clarkson as he makes bold statement Catherine has reportedly been persuaded to return with the promise of major storylines for her character. Eva was last seen on the show in 2018 when she left Weatherfield in a taxi for a new life in France with her daughter Susie. According to the Sun, Catherine agreed to return to Corrie earlier this year. The outlet adds that she is due to start filming Eva's comeback next week and her first scenes are then expected to be broadcaster sometime in the autumn. ‌ A source said: "It's one of the biggest jobs in soap, the landlady of the Rovers Return pub." They further told the outlet: "Bosses were desperate to get Cath back. They came up with the perfect storyline with her being unveiled as the new landlady of the Rovers." It comes following speculation that Eva would return earlier this year. It was reported in February that Catherine would be back on the show, with it suggested that the proposal had been "too good of an opportunity to pass up". The actor had previously teased over potentially returning. Whilst on Good Morning Britain just last year, after sparking rumours after reuniting with former co-stars for a birthday celebration, she shared: "I mean, never say never!" ‌ The news of her apparent return this year comes after the latest departure from the cast was announced this week. It was revealed that Sally, 54, who returned in 2015 after a more than 20 year absence, is leaving once again. She shared the news on Instagram just days ago. Sally, who made her debut as Jenny in 1986, told fans that she hadn't expected to stay for a decade when she returned. She however said that she wants to take on other roles. ‌ Sally said in her post earlier this week: "I was supposed to stay for five months but ended up doing an extra ten years because I loved it so much. It's time though to play those parts I always hoped I would when I'd 'grown up'. Thanks Trafford Wharf Rd for the memories and endless laughter."

Inside Mel B's 'spiritual' Moroccan wedding after lavish St Paul's Cathedral ceremony

Singer Melanie Brown MBE has said 'I do' again with her husband Rory McPhee in a stunning ceremony in Morocco, which was very different from her recent nuptials Melanie Brown MBE has married her husband, Rory McPhee, again. The Spice Girls icon and hair stylist, Rory, had their legal ceremony in the UK just a number of weeks ago, tying the knot at the iconic St Paul's Cathedral. ‌ But last night, the musician, 50, and Rory, 37, married for the second time in Morocco, during a ceremony which oozed glamour and paid tribute to her fiery roots. The couple were joined by their closest friends and family, including Melanie's three children from previous relationships, as well as her sister Danielle Brown, and Rory's family. ‌ Also on the guest list was Melanie's Spice Girls bandmate, Melanie C, who had been unable to attend the St Paul's ceremony due to work commitments as part of her huge tour. Speaking of the weekend, Melanie C said: "What a weekend!" The singer previously said her second ceremony would be "sexy". Now, the Mirror can reveal an exclusive insight into Melanie and Rory's second wedding. It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce's lock screen. ‌ Mel's stunning wedding dress glistened under the Marrakesh sunshine with red crystals, in collaboration with Evelie and Justin Alexander. The pair tied the knot again at their favourite place, the Selman Hotel. In contrast to her regal white gown in London, Melanie opted for something a little spicier, reflecting on her personal style. Previously, Melanie was guided by wedding dress legend Caroline Black from Evelie Bridal, who proudly helped the chart-mauling musician choose the perfect Josephine Scott dress for their UK ceremony. Meanwhile, she chose American designer, Justin Alexander, to reflect her current life, as she is splitting her time between Leeds and the US, where she is working on America's Got Talent. ‌ Evelie Bridal owner Caroline said: "For Mel's Morocco wedding dress, we focused on trying Justin Alexander gowns with a little extra sparkle. Mel loved the idea of a red dress—something bold, with lots and lots of shimmer—but it also had to feel light and easy to move in. "We drew inspiration from a variety of dresses she tried on at Evelie South Kensington, then went back and forth brainstorming with Justin Alexander and his design team. After several conversations and sketches, the first design took shape. Mel gave us clear feedback on what she liked and what she didn't, and the final result was beautiful. Mel had such a strong sense of what she wanted—it was a joy working with her and Justin Alexander to bring her vision to life." ‌ Melanie and Caroline worked with Creative Director Justin Warshaw and Chief of Design Terri Hilferty to create the jaw-dropping, sheer gown, which oozed glamour, as well as flares. The silhouette was created entirely with hand-fitted red crystals and bulge beads, offering a mesmerizing floating effect throughout the bodice and skirt. The team was created by six artisans and took a staggering 850 hours to complete. The sweetheart neckline of her dress was filled with red crystal detailing, eventually dispersing across the corset. Elsewhere, the asymmetrical detailing at the waistline added another touch of dimension. In true Mel B fashion, a daring side split revealed a glimpse of her toned legs, with crystal beading scattered down the length of her skirt. Meanwhile, the back featured a lace-up corset and red ribbons, which highlighted her gym-honed physique, before eventually flowing off into a magical cathedral-length train. The musician completed her look with a Moroccan-inspired veil, custom-draped in mocha tulle and accented with red crystals to mirror the dress's embellishments. The warm-toned veil blends seamlessly with the dress, offering a radiant, skin-toned glow. Crystals accent the veil's crown and cascade delicately down the back drape, with additional sparkle scattered throughout the train to finish the look. ‌ Melanie's husband, Rory, who previously wore tartan and a kilt at the St Paul's ceremony, opted for UK based designer, Alexander McQueen, and a traditional black tie look. Speaking about the design, Justin Warshaw, CEO and Creative Director of Justin Alexander, said: "We had such an enjoyable time working with Mel. Every meeting felt like a creative burst of energy and laughter, and that spirit is absolutely woven into the dresses we created together. "There was so much joy and trust in the process, and creating these dresses together felt like a true celebration of her love story and personal style."

Seven of the best spots to visit on the Clyde Coast

Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, cultural immersion or simply the restorative power of sea air and stunning vistas, the Clyde Coast always delivers. Tighnabruaich Hotel, Tighnabruaich With an elevated position above the village shoreline, the fuss-free beer garden at the Tighnabruaich Hotel benefits from uninterrupted views over the Kyles of Bute. Yet despite its enviable position it never gets too busy, even on a sunny day, making it a glorious spot to enjoy the best of the Clyde Coast scenery. Sugar Boat, Helensburgh This little gem of a restaurant and bar is surely one of the best in Helensburgh. It's named after the famous shipwreck that can be seen from the town, and it has become a real community favourite since first opening in Colquhoun Square. Visit on a weekend morning for their high-end brunch, or late in the evening for a cocktail – you can bring your dog, too. (Image: Gourock Outdoor Pool) Gourock Outdoor Pool Now immortalised in the pop world after an image of it adorned the cover of Blur's recent album, The Ballad of Darren, Gourock's refurbished outdoor attraction is Scotland's oldest salt water, open air swimming pool. Heated to a relatively balmy 29 degrees, it is open seven days a week and over the summer and offers spectacular views of the Clyde estuary during the day and the heavens at night with its magical Starlight Swims. Hill House Perched high overlooking the Firth of Clyde, Hill House in [[Helensburgh]] is regarded as Charles Rennie Mackintosh's domestic design triumph. Completed in 1904 for Glasgow publisher William Blackie, the exterior and interior were created by Mackintosh in collaboration with his wife Margaret Macdonald. [[Hill House]] is currently encased in a protective mesh box to protect it from the weather, but the exquisite interior is open to visitors, while gangways and steps inside the box provide unique angles from which to view the outside of the building. Cathedral of the Isles Cumbrae, just four miles long, epitomises the perfect Scottish island getaway accessible within an hour from Glasgow. The Cathedral of the Isles, Britain's smallest cathedral, sits in the charming town of Millport, where Victorian villas line the seafront and traditional seaside amusements endure. Founded in 1849 and consecrated in 1851, the Cathedral and adjacent College of the Holy Spirit, were designed by William Butterfield, one of the greatest nineteenth century British architects. The buildings remain with little alteration. Culzean Castle and Country Park Perched dramatically on Ayrshire clifftops, this Robert Adam masterpiece represents 18th-century architecture at its finest. The castle's oval staircase and circular saloon demonstrate Adam's innovative design genius, while the Eisenhower apartment commemorates the American president's connection to Scotland. The surrounding 600-acre country park features woodland walks, a restored walled garden, and the famous Culzean Beach with its distinctive volcanic rock formations. Red deer roam the parkland, while the clifftop paths offer spectacular views across to Ailsa Craig and Arran. (Image: Getty Images) Wemyss Bay Station Enter a world when rail was king and stations were designed and built to reflect its exalted status. Opened in 1865 and then rebuilt in 1903 to a design by James Miller for the Caledonian Railway, Wemyss Bay Station is widely regarded as one of the UK's finest. An architectural masterpiece which utilises glass and steel curves to assist the flow of passengers it is a much loved remnant of the age of the Clyde steamers. It still links with the Rothesay ferry and there are regular trains from Glasgow Central.
