Holding up the album, Kate Garraway said: "Ben just drifts off to a happy place every time he looks at this album album cover, don't you?"

Grinning, he replied dreamily: "I just want to stroke it."

Kate, 53, laughed: "That's why she's not in the studio by the way."

The album was described by Kate as a "virtual hug", while Ben joked he was having "a mindful moment" in the studio.

He then added: "I keep looking at that thinking 'I work with her. She's really hot'."

It made Kate erupt with laughter, and she couldn't believe he'd said it out loud.
