Introducing a short clip from the tense scene on the ITV daytime show, host Josie Gibson said: "A lot of people have realised there's a bit of sexual tension between you both. So much so that you've gone viral on TikTok."

She went on to say: "I love that move in the dance. I mean, that's so weird. I've heard about this. I haven't watched it. I don't have TikTok, but I've heard."
Flashes of TikTok videos made by fans recreating Kate's yearning look were then played on the screen.
"Oh no. No!" Simone exclaimed before bursting into a fit of laughter. "Oh my god. Woah, that's so funny."
"People just love that scene. Look at that, they are really good," Josie added, before Vernon said: "You spend all your life preparing to be an actor, you get a great role and that's what happens."

The actors' electric chemistry has garnered wide attention from fans and critics alike since the period piece landed on Netflix in March.
Speaking about their on-screen tension, Jonathan told HELLO! and other journalists at a recent press event that the pair had a "little process" when it came to creating their chemistry.

"There's a trust that develops where you touch base before a scene and loosely have a moment," explained Jonathan. "What I think is quite important, what I've discovered, is to make sure that you keep your cards and your power together and that you're united.
"I think we touched base at the beginning of a scene. We just developed a shorthand that was actually, really, when it came down to it, just a look."
