Lorraine Kelly admitted to becoming 'really emotional' following an interview with Eddie Izzard.
The presenter was interviewing Eddie on her ITV show about her latest charity fundraising efforts as she takes on 31 marathons in 31 days.
Towards the end of the chat, Lorraine apologised to Eddie for if she had misgendered her, opening up a discussing about how she prefers she/her pronouns when not doing serious acting work.
Things took an emotional turn when Eddie thanked the presenter for 'being there'.
Lorraine began the conversation by saying: "Just before Christmas you were in the news wanting to be known as 'she' now, and so can I apologise to you if I get that wrong.
"Because we are still kind of just going along with it."
Eddie replied: "Let me say this, I just request, and I have been out for 35 years, 1985, a lot of people are supportive.
"I was asked, and I thought, 'Well I would like to be she, because I was in girl mode.
"There is a request, but it is never a demand or an insistence, and some people twist that and some people get het up about it.
"It's as if people are saying, 'Are you serious about being trans because we just didn't know for 35 years?’'
"If people have a problem, just call me Eddie, it's no big deal for me, I am gender fluid, I do all my dramatic roles in boy mode.
"If people are angry, I am trying to tell the truth at a time when lies are used as a tool of politics."
She also said that she'd continue attempts to become an MP adding: "You know me, I am a relentless so and so and I will keep going until I get into parliament as an MP."
Lorraine then told her guest: "We need people like you ... You're a fantastic woman, a fantastic human being."
Eddie then become emotional responding: "And thank you for being so supportive," and fighting back the tears added: "It's great that you're there. You're a very good person."
Lorraine then became visibly moved with tears filling her eyes as she thanked Eddie for the kind words that "mean the world".
