It's sort of your worst nightmare, your phone going off in an interview. But imagine you're Emma Watson, and it happens whilst your being filmed for daytime TV.

Really not ideal.

Speaking to Mark Heyes this morning on ITV's Lorraine, the 26-year-old actress was on the subject of her new film Colonia when suddenly her phone went off.

"Ring-ring, ring-ring", it did not go. No, it started to play this artist instead: Tina Turner.

Simply THE BEST, right?!

'That is so embarrassing!' Emma exclaimed as she hurried to turn it off. 'That is my phone. That's Tina Turner...'

But showing he was more amused than annoyed by the phone faux pas, Mark laughed and said he had, 'ultimate respect, I think that's probably the best ringtone I've ever heard'.

'Well, I'm glad that I'm forgiven because it was Tina Turner,' the red-faced Emma replied, 'otherwise that would have been terrible. I'm so sorry.'

Later on, she spoke about her highly-anticipated role as Belle in the live-action version of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, saying she was 'so excited' about getting the part. 'It was nerve-wracking for me because I've sung as a child in plays and I loved it, but I just hadn't done it in such a long time, it was like learning to ride a bike again.'

The film sees her star alongside Dan Stevens as the Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston and Emma Thompson as Mrs Potts, and is set for release next March.

But if you can't wait till then, and fancy checking out its teaser trailer beforehand, go on then, Be Our Guest...
