Ranvir Singh stepped into correct her Good Morning Britain colleague Richard Madeley during Tuesday's episode show, over the way he pronounced a location name during a live interview.
With main GMB presenter Susanna Reid off for Easter, there have been a few changes in personnel on the ITV programme over the past week, with Ranvir teaming up with This Morning legend Richard to anchor at the start of the week. Their partnership has divided viewers, particularly Richard, with some likening him to infamous TV character Alan Partridge, while others have praised his no nonsense approach.
On Tuesday's Good Morning Britain, as well as speaking to the UK's Eurovision act Sam Ryder and going direct to Ukraine to get updates from Richard Gaisford, Ranvir and Richard discussed reports that fish and chips could soon double in price due rising costs of cod and haddock, with the war in Ukraine having an impact on cooking oil prices. The presenters spoke to the President of the Association of Fish Fryers, Andrew Crook.

He joined the hosts live via video link from his chippy in Euxton, but it was Richard's pronunciation of the Lancashire village, that sparked a correction from Ranvir as he pronounced it Ooxton. She quickly jumped into interrupt and tell him it's pronounced Exton.
Richard told her: "Euxton, so sorry, Euxton. I knew that as I used to be up there. Slip of the tongue!" Earlier in the show, Andrew had told a GMB reporter: "We're currently seeing the highest fish prices we've ever seen and that's post-pandemic inflation; oil, a lot of oil comes from Ukraine. That's not really started to affect us yet, but people are buying the oil, so that's forcing the price up. My oil's gone up 25% last week, another 10% this week.
"And of course there's 20% VAT, which is probably the straw that will break the camel's back."
