GOOD Morning Britain host Adil Ray was left gobsmacked after a top Hollywood star revealed her “real age.”
The ITV presenter, 50, was left uttering “what?” as the actress let slip her birthday – before she addressed her pride in playing the “sexual centre” of her new Netflix show.
Kaos actress Janet McTeer, 63, appeared on the Good Morning Britain sofa alongside her co-star Jeff Goldblum, 71.
The show’s quirky plotline sees the legends of the Greek gods brought into a contemporary setting.
The script sees Zeus (Jeff Goldblum), aka king of the gods, living in his luxurious mansion at the top of Mount Olympus with his wife Hera (Janet McTeer) and party-loving son Dionysus (Nabhaan Rizwan).
Adil’s co-host Kate Garraway, 57, told the Newcastle-born star: “You are fabulously hot.
“As a woman of a certain age – you’re not 12,” to which Janet said: “I;m really not 12, I have had my 63rd birthday.”
This prompted Adil to quiz: “63rd? What?” before Janet told him: “Oh bless your heart.”
Adil then uttered: “Amazing,” before she said: “I am owning every year of it.”
Janet continued to address her age in relation to her new role and said: “It is really great to go you’re playing the sexual centre of it, as it were.”
Following her latest TV role, the Ozark actress joked “I only play goddesses now.”
Talking about the “blissful” role she added to The Guardian of her character: “She’s very, ‘Now listen. I’m OK sitting here in my kaftan, but if anybody messes with me, trust me, I will stand up and fight.’ That’s what’s wonderful about her, she’s a slow burn.”
Earlier in the episode, things took a more sombre tone as Kate fought back tears.
She pulled out a box of tissues as she talked to the parents of murdered teenager Leah Croucher – asking grieving duo Claire and John “how do you cope?”
The clearly-touched ITV anchor put her personal grief following the death of her husband Derek Draper in January to one side for the raw chat.
Kate finished the heart-wrenching chat by asking if she could “give them a hug”.
An inquest confirmed Leah had been killed by sex offender Neil Maxwell – who himself was found dead in a bike shed in 2019.
Yet it has taken police four years after her disappearance to come to a conclusion on her death, with the coroner’s court only holding their session in June.
