The 53-year-old discussed an unlikely run in with Gladiator star Russell Crowe, 54, as well as relations with his ex wife and current fiancée Vicky, his children’s former nanny.

Jeremy and Lorraine, 58, discussed Russell’s first meeting with Lorraine and how Jeremy rushed to her defence when the Hollywood actor made a crude remark. 

He said: ‘My first ever day on television was me presenting This Morning with Lorraine and I walked in so nervous and Lorraine was about to interview Russell Crowe and he said…

Lorraine interjected: ‘He said nice t**s to me, and that was his opening remark.

While on the show, Jeremy also discussed how he is now getting along much better with his ex-wife Carla Germaine. 

He also spoke about how his romance with fiancée Vicky Burton has changed his life for the better. 

He said: ‘It’s great fun being a granddad. Everyone says it’s because can give them back. We’re babysitting for the whole weekend. It’s great fun. 

He said he and ex Vicky have sorted out childcare and sharing the kids, saying: ‘It’s absolutely fine. We’re just getting on with life.

‘I did ask Victoria to marry me because she changed my life. There is no shadow of a doubt.’ 

Jeremy even credits Victoria with helping him to quit his 30 year cigarette habit, which saw him smoke 20 cigarettes a day. 

He said: ‘The kids were saying I was grumpy. For me, I had to get there myself. Everyone had been telling me for years to give up. 

‘I had cancer and I still smoked. Now everyone is saying that it was meeting Vick that did it. It’s my new life.

‘Ultimately, it just came to me. I said to my mate. This is the last cigarette I’ll ever have.’
