Good Morning Britain 's Adil Ray has recalled he once went to dinner with a very unlikely Hollywood A-lister whose 12 years his junior.
The TV presenter, 51, was joined by Melvin Odoom, 45, and Kate Garraway, 58, on show as they discussed the upcoming movie Freakier Friday, slated for release on August 8.
But as they chatted about the new flick, which stars Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, and actress Lindsay Lohan, 39, Melvin smirked when the Parent Trap star's name was mentioned.
Alluding to a conversation had off-air, Melvin prompted Adil to reveal his connection to leading actress Lindsay after Adil admitted to going for dinner with her.
'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.'
To which Kate said: 'WHAT?! Stop, how did this happen, where were you?'
'Did you slide in the DM's?,' Melvin joked but Adil quickly clarified: 'It wasn't a date before, you know, it wasn't a date.'
'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.
'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 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 - a sequel to the 2003 film - sees Lindsay and Jamie embroiled in quadruple chaos as they swap bodies again - 22 years after they first traded places.
Lindsay was just 15 years old when she first portrayed Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee, who played her on-screen mother Tess Coleman.
It follows the bickering mother and daughter after a Chinese restaurant fortune cookie mishap causes them to switch bodies, forcing them to live the other's life.
Despite barely having been able to see eye-to-eye, the magical switch eventually allows them to see things from the other's point of view.
The sequel will see the iconic pairing switch places once again, though this time there is quadruple chaos in store.
Anna (Lindsay) is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), but things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teenager Lily (Sophia Hammons).
Harper highlights her disgust as she's heard reciting mock wedding vows, in which she brands her soon-to-be step-sister 'a little demon thing with an obnoxious accent'.
A flash forward to Anna's bachelorette party sees her and mother Tess Coleman sit down with a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer), who warns them they may learn another lesson by 'walking in each other's paths'.
Anna and Tess then find themselves caught up in yet another 'freaky' body swap incident - only this time, it's not just between the two of them.
The next morning, Anna discovers she's swapped bodies with daughter Harper, while Tess, aka 'Grandma', is now in the body of Anna's step-daughter Lily.
Quadruple chaos then ensues as the foursome try to navigate their new roles with just days to go until the wedding.
