Alex Jones was clearly shocked when she greeted Rita Wilson on BBC's The One Show as the actress and singer appeared via videolink from her Los Angeles home.
As soon as The One Show kicked off, Alex, 43, couldn't contain her excitement when she announced that the Hollywood star would be appearing.
Her co-host Gethin Jones jokingly made fun of Jones as they revealed they would be chatting to Wilson about her battle with coronavirus.
Rita, 63, and husband Tom Hanks, 63, contracted the deadly virus while in Australia - as Tom was filming an upcoming film. The pair were hospitalised but soon recovered and returned to Los Angeles.
