Michelle Keegan and Douglas Booth brought plenty of warmth to Sara Cox's studio as they discussed their new ITVX drama The Blame, but it was their food chat that really landed. Booth revealed he's become an unlikely home chef since lockdown, telling Cox he served "delicious tuna steaks with miso green beans" the night before, served cold "in a little bit of lemon and garlic" sauce. Keegan, clearly impressed, exclaimed "you are a chef, I didn't know this!" The pair also admitted to fluffing their police phonetic alphabet on set, with Booth confessing "we definitely did have quite a lot of laughter trying to get some of this sort of police jargon out."
Cox kicked off the morning with Surprise and Shine, catching out Austin from the Manchester area mid-journey to Bolton with his dad Julian, who performed a barbershop-style rendition for a pair of "Sarah socks." The segment produced one of the show's warmest moments when Julian, driving, called out "hello" to the nation via his son's phone.
Elsewhere in the cuddly news slot, Traitors star Miranda provided laughs after footage emerged of her attempting to herd sheep on her land, getting distracted by "the sheep's fluffy rear end" along the way, prompting Cox to joke about unverified reports of a disposable barbecue purchase.
Sign Sealed Delivered saw Susan from Dundee celebrate her 25th wedding anniversary in Venice with husband Brian, telling Cox romantically that "venice talks that are falling in love."
