Will, talking about Daddy’s Home 2, in which he stars with Mel, John and Mark, said: 'My kids were on set for a whole week and I had to do a scene with John where I kissed him on the lips.

Mark chipped in: 'It was very funny. I could tell Will was slightly uncomfortable so I just kept encouraging them to kiss more. It made me very happy!'

Will went on to discuss a burgeoning romance between his son Magnus, 13, and Mark’s daughter, Ella-Rae, 14.
He quipped: 'My eldest son told me she had requested that they become Instagram friends,' as Mark interjected, 'I guess it is inevitable that she will at some point have a dating life and if there were ever two people that would spawn a child that I would think polite, kind, thoughtful and respectful, and worthy enough of my child’s time, it would be Will and his lovely wife, they are spectacular people.'
He added jokingly: 'I decided that if anything goes wrong I will do nothing to the kid but I will crack open Will’s head!'

She confessed: 'I get butterflies because I have never done TV before. Going from being a dance teacher to suddenly being the head judge was a little overwhelming, but it’s amazing and thrilling.'
Talking about her new-found fame, she said: 'No one sees me because everyone is glued to their cellphones. I think three, maybe four people have recognised me and I’m okay with that.'
Rounding off the star-studded Kesha performed Learn To Let Go, before joining Graham to witness the red chair.
