Presenter Lorraine Kelly admitted she was gutted after receiving news about politician Nigel Farage on Good Morning Britain that “ruined” her day.
During today’s episode of GMB, Lorraine chatted with LA correspondent Ross King about movie megastar Tom Cruise and his recent Zoom call with the UK’s culture secretary.
Tom, they explained, was on the video call to talk about film productions getting exemptions from some coronavirus restrictions. Special rules could enable them to move forward and resume filming.

“Exactly,” Ross told her. “This is all about how exemptions will allow productions to resume and of course, he’s making Mission Impossible 7.
That’s my day ruined.
“It was filming in the UK before the lockdown. As you said, they spoke to Tom last weekend. The UK government is looking at allowing a number of film and TV productions to be exempt from foreign quarantine rules. And then hopefully [they’ll resume] filming.
“There’s this idea where you can create some kind of a bubble and have everyone tested, and they will stay within that bubble when they are filming.”
Lorraine then thanked Ross for coming on the programme and revealed that his report had “cheered” her up. Only earlier, she said, she was gutted after finding out she is older than former UKIP politician Nigel Farage.
Lorraine is 60, whereas the Brexit Party leader is 56.
