ITV GMB hosts share awkward moment as Ranvir Singh gatecrashes live debate

ITV Good Morning Britain's Ranvir Singh left Susanna Reid giggling as she accidentally walked on set and into a live coronavirus debate on Tuesday morning.

The former political editor for the morning programme was caught on camera alongside presenters Susanna Reid and Martin Lewis as they settled down to discuss the pandemic.

Ranvir was on the show later alongside Dr Hilary Jones, Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire, but unfortunately got her cues wrong and ambled onto the set at the wrong moment.

During the chaotic slot, Ranvir was seen being shooed off the set by producers, which was spotted by host Susanna Reid, much to her amusement.

As reported by BirminghamLive, Susanna said: "Oh, hello, Ranvir", and the Strictly favourite replied in embarrassment, "I'm a bit early. I'll step out gently."

Last week, it was announced that Ranvir was to be replaced by Louisa James as political correspondent on the ITV show, as senior political producer Anne Alexander announced on Wednesday, March 16.

Anne tweeted: "Delighted that @LouisaJamesITV is joining Good Morning Britain’s politics team as Political Correspondent, taking over from @ranvir01. She’s experienced, hard-working and obsessed with politics. Think she’ll do well with me and @kieronishere. Welcome to the (mad) House Louisa."

Host Susanne congratulated Louisa, saying: "Congratulations @LouisaJamesITV," alongside a hand's clapping emoji.

Ranvir also joined in on the celebrations, writing: "Super happy about this xxx."

ITV Good Morning Britain will resume on Wednesday March 23, and each weekday from 6am onwards.
