The couple, who present their own weekly ‘Moreish TV’ show from home, were first seen on This Morning last Friday onboard a Victorian red single-decker London bus that arrived inside the studio set, along with the other couples renewing their vows.
Later on in the show Debbie was asked to test a new stay-on lipstick with Craig by her side, as three other couples also tested out different lipstick brands.
As beauty expert Nadine Baggott asked Debbie to kiss Craig on the cheek to see if it leaves a mark, things quickly turned into chaos as Craig said “come here Debbie”, he then grabbed her head and planted a huge kiss on shocked Debbie's lips.
This led host Dermot to remark “heaven still is a place on earth”. He then asked Debbie “how was that?” As Debbie gave her positive answer about the Maybelline lipstick, Craig added “I enjoyed that” and Alison Hammond said the Edinburgh couple needed to get a room.
