As Lorraine wished him a happy birthday, she said, "Happy birthday to Dr Hilary, can I tell the nation how old you are?”
The presented teased, “The nation will be astounded!” and Dr Hilary replied, “Go on then”.
After being given the thumbs up, Lorraine announced, “You are 67 years old today! You can’t be 67? It’s ridiculous.”
