Seemingly reeling off Christine’s entire career at this point, Simon asked her about a show she’d presented with Brian Conley, which she didn’t seem to recall and urged him ‘not to believe everything you read on Wikipedia’.
For the uninitiated, it was daytime variety show Let Me Entertain You, which ran from 2006 to 2007.
Clearly not done there, Simon moved onto Christine’s marriage to footballer Frank.
‘How’s your relationship going?’ he asked. ‘Is Frank still leaving his plates in the sink?’
The pair ended the interview by wondering why they hadn’t got married and honestly, what a whirlwind.

Fans were obsessed with the chaos, with one writing on Twitter: ‘Loving @SimonAmstell on #Lorraine what a way to start a Friday morning! Hilarious.’
‘@SimonAmstell and @clbleakley need to host a show together,’ another said, while one more added: ‘Omg I was crying laughing at @SimonAmstell.’
Simon is no stranger to grilling celebs, having made his name on Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Popworld.
While Never Mind The Buzzcocks is making its return to Sky, Simon sadly won’t be part of it.

When quizzed on whether he was invited back, Simon said: ‘I’ve shed that skin. That skin is on the floor.’
NME reports he then shook his head and added: ‘No.’
Never Mind the Buzzcocks originally aired between 1996 and 2015 and was first hosted by Mark Lamarr, then by Simon, and later by a number of guest presenters, with Rhod Gilbert hosting the final series.
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV.
