Miriam has been described as Holly and Phil's "favourite guest" - and she was invited on today's show to promote her new Channel 4 series with Alan Cumming, Lost in Scotland.

Miriam was delivering no-nonsense responses in her inimitable style as she explained whether she ever gets embarrassed and why it's important to have a thick skin.

However, Phil was left perplexed at a remark Miriam made as she she was dishing out relationship advice.

She said: "Don't do anything sexual straight away. I think you should wait for sex. I don't think it should come immediately. I think it should be arrived at eventually.

"Not like you Phillip. Wait for it"

Phillip and Holly were left in hysterics at the comment.

He shot back: "What do you know that I don't? I'm just trying to process that."

Miriam laughed: "I don't know very much. I'm just guessing."

Karen tweeted: "Oh I love her! Gentle, kind but honest. Please give her a regular Dear Miriam slot."
