During the conversation with their host, Russell admitted that he enjoys Spanish food.

The Brit, 26, then claimed that this is largely down to his Spanish girlfriend Carmen Montero Mundit, who he has been dating since 2020.

When this was pointed out, Hamilton, 39, said: “I don’t have a Spanish girlfriend so I don’t really know a lot of Spanish foods.”

Russell then left him stunned by joking: “You don’t have a Spanish girlfriend, you have Spanish girlfriends.”
