Lorraine had served each of her guests a ‘Twinkle, a cocktail. The formula for its making included vodka, elderflower liqueur, and champagne added to it.
‘Twinkle’ left the guest with fits of laughter.
The name of the cocktail was not the only uniqueness of the segment, but what happened later was more entertaining. Lorraine served her specially made cocktail ‘Twinkle’ to her guests, and the moment they took a sip of that festive drink, Lorraine made a comment.
Lorraine said, “So, erm. What do you think of my twinkle? which Ross’s response was more hilarious; he jokingly said, “It’s been a while since I’ve seen you twinkle or indeed tested your twinkle, but I’d like to say it looks lovely, and it tastes lovely too.” This lively sense of humor experienced between the host and the guest of the segment leads to fits of laughter for a long time.
It looks like Lorraine was not hosting the show alone, but she was accompanied by her dog, Ruby, who was sitting on her lap during the show. Ruby became part of Lawrence’s choke when she asked Ruby if she would like to have some Twinkle before opting to keep it to herself.
The ‘Twinkle’ joke was not over after Ross gave a funny response. After a moment, Lorraine took a sip of her drink and said, “That is brilliant. I’m loving it, so we’re all going to go for Twinkles.” which left the guest further in fits of laughter during the segment all day.

Gork is the father of two children, and he was excitedly sharing the details of how his children act up on Christmas. She shared about her daughter, Mia, where he said, “She’s four; she opens presents and leaves everything around, and me behind her picks up all the wrapping paper and puts it in a bag.”
