Good Morning Britain viewers swoon over 'adorable' digital dating love story

Good Morning Britain is looking for the silver linings as the country remains on lockdown amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Co-hosts Ben Shephard and Ranvir Singh welcomed on a video call two dating site users who've struck up a romance digitally.

"Is it possible to find love during lockdown?" Ben asked, "I'm sure lots of you are asking this very burning question.

"Social distancing may have hampered our social lives, but many dating sites are reporting an increase in users trying out digital dating."

Ben and Ranvir then introduced Emma in Birmingham and Yasmin in Worcester - who've never actually met in person.

Emma explained: "We were going to meet up, and then the lockdown happened and we weren't able to."

She added: "We're not sure when we're going to be able to see each other so it's a bit of an unknown for us."

Viewers took to social media to gush over the pair who aren't letting the lockdown keep them from dating.

One wrote: "Lovely to see Yasmin and Emma's developing relationship @GMB @ranvir01 @benshephard..."

Another tweeted: "@GMB @benshephard Yasmin & Emma are justa adorable! Love is in the digital air, please keep us updated."

The show also saw Dr Hilary reflect on his Dancing On Ice stint 10 years back - and reveal the strict demands he had on the wardrobe department.

He told Lorraine Kelly: "I didn't mind sparkles but refused to wear pink or yellow!"

He added: "I told wardrobe, 'I am a professional person and I don't think I should draw attention to myself.'"
