Good Morning Britain's Adil Ray shocked co-host Kate Garraway when he revealed that he once went for dinner with Freakier Friday's Lindsay Lohan and she demanded to know more
Adil Ray asked for Lindsay Lohan to 'get in touch' with him while he was on air on Friday's Good Morning Britain.
‌
The presenter was back in his usual seat alongside Kate Garraway, and they were joined by former I'm A Celebrity star Melvin Odoom, who had arrived with his showbiz roundup. Having attended the premiere of Freakier Friday last night, Melvin brought up that Adil that met Lindsay, 39, to which the presenter shot back: "You know when we say things off-air, you're not supposed to..." but eventually decided to tell his story. It comes after ITV fans accuse Alan Titchmarsh of 'ruining' garden as foster parents were left sobbing
‌
Adil explained: "I had dinner with Lindsay. Me and Lindsay, we had dinner together." But his co-hosts were not about to let him stop there, as Kate prodded him for more information on the topic.
‌
Adil continued: "She's lovely. It wasn't a date before you know...we had mutual friends, we all went out for dinner together and she came along. She's lovely, he's a fantastic human, really well-lived, really smart, really intelligent. Lindsay, if you're watching, get in touch!"
Lindsay shot to fame when she was cast in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap and then quickly established herself as a teen favourite in Hollywood with leading roles in Mean Girls, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Herbie: Fully Loaded.
‌
But she had a well-documented struggle with her development in the public eye and during the premiere the night before, Jamie Lee spoke with the programme's cameras about how she wants to protect not only her on-screen daughter, but young ones also up-and-coming through the Hollywood machine.
Jamie Lee Curtis said: "It's very important to me if you work with someone who is a teen or a child that you take the responsibility that you're not faking a friendship. Children, actors - it's very transactional. This is very confusing for me and I'm really old and have been doing this since I was a kid. To have that scrutiny and attention is really challenging and I wanna be a safe zone for Lindsay."
‌
Fans of the hit bodyswap comedy movie, which was a remake of the 1978 Disney film starring Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris, have had to wait more than two decades for a sequel. And movie star Jamie, 66, recently explained why that is. During an appearance on The One Show, she explained: "The truth is Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter.
"People would ask me about the movie over and over again around the world and I would say 'yeah we'd love to do it, we love each other and we'd have a great time, Lindsay has to be old enough to be a teenager or the movie doesn't work'.
"And then finally, I think it was in Australia, someone said 'she is' and I was like 'what do you mean?' because I've know her since she was 15.
"She's a young girl. now she's a young mommy, she's this young girl. I don't know how old she is but someone told me and I was like 'oh, we can make a movie. Let's go'.
