Other fans commented with heart eye emojis, red love hearts and, of course, lots of laughing faces! Ruby, who is an Instagram sensation in her own right, also shared the snap to her Instagram Stories for her 20,300 followers to see.

The podcast has had a great success with Lorraine and Rosie, who have interviewed countless A-listers who all shared their 'what if' moments in life.

The star-studded list of guest list includes the likes of fellow ITV star Katie Piper, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Astrazeneca vaccine creator Dr Catherine Green.

In a recent episode of the podcast, Katie and the mother-daughter duo discussed what it's like working together, Katie said: "How is that [working together]" and Rosie replied: "I think we're fine...right?" to which Lorraine agreed. Katie joked: "That sounded like a question not a statement!"

Whether they think it or not – we think they're doing a fantastic job!
