Some viewers were stunned as Kerry tilted her head back and Richard got a good look.

She shot to fame when she was a teenager after she had already survived a traumatic childhood and her mum’s issues with addiction.
Kerry, who spent time in foster care, was introduced to drugs by her mum when she was 14.
The former I’m A Celebrity star had surgery three weeks ago at Pall Mall Medical surgery under surgeon Dr Raghavan, and she said she has finally closed the door on that chapter in her life.
“It started with my second marriage, you lie down with dogs you get fleas," Kerry told Richard and co-presenter Ranvir Singh.
She went on: "Cocaine was my friend it was my crutch.
"I wasn’t taking it every day I was a binger. When I started I couldn’t stop, I could go a while without it.
“It became my best friend because everyone was using me."
Kerry added: "Before I was famous, the first drug I took was with my mum. My mum wasn’t really a mum. She gave me speed telling me it was sherbet."
In 2008 Kerry was interviewed on This Morning and was seen "slurring" her words as a result of her medication for bipolar disorder.
