Good Morning Britain favourite, Kate Garraway created her own drama on the ITV news programme after 'whacking' her co-star Ben Shephard. Clearly poorly, Ben battled with a tickly cough that got worse if he got the giggles, and while it was reported that Kate had her fellow presenter's best interests at heart, it didn't stop her wading in with an action that Ben said 'hurt'.
During the show on Friday (January 6), the pair welcomed Fred Sirieix to the show. According to Manchester Evening News, Fred is currently rumoured to be behind Pigeon on the new series of The Masked Singer. As Kate put on a French accent to say 'pigeon" as she attempted to imitate Fred, Ben ended up choking live on the show.
As Ben struggled, Kate sprung into action and whacked him on the back. "Oh it’s brilliant, every time I make him giggle he can’t speak for 10 minutes," Kate said. She then asked: "Does it help when I do that?" to which Ben replied: "No it doesn’t!”
