Many Good Morning Britain viewers were left distracted by a guest's teeth during today's (May 31) episode - so much so that some said they were 'so bright' they 'probably glow in the dark'. Former The Only Way Is Essex star Bobby Norris was on the ITV show discussing whether alcohol should be banned on flights or not.
He was joined by journalist and author Anne Marie Scalon as they debated the topic alongside hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Ed Balls. Putting forward his argument that people deserve to enjoy a tipple while jetting off on holiday, Bobby said: "'Are we going to stop Bertie and Gertie that are going to Benidorm for a week and she wants a glass of Chablis on the plane?"
However, Anne Marie, who is all for banning booze on planes, hit back: "Bertie and Gertie deserve to have a peaceful flight!" She went on to claim there have been times passengers have been let on board despite being too drunk.

She recalled: "I was on a plane with a stag party coming back from their stag weekend and there was a couple of men there who were going to wake up in a different country and not know how they got there. One of them was standing beside the bathroom, the guy didn't know where he was... he was too drunk to be violent."
Bobby replied: "I think your holiday starts at the airport. I like a gin and tonic on the plane... and to start banning it, we're banning too much... You're having a little sociable drink, you're with friends, you're with family, as long as you're not hurting anyone or causing trouble, to me I can't understand why that's okay to ban."
It comes as figures show number of 'air rage' incidents have tripled since 2019, soaring to 1,028 last year. Airlines have been accused of fuelling air rage incidents with cut-price drinks offers.
However, as the pair locked horns, many viewers were more focussed on Bobby's sparkling white gnashers. Taking to Twitter, Stevebristoluk declared: "The whitest teeth I think I've ever seen.. #GMB."
Boppity_Boo34 joked: "I bet his teeth glow in the dark #GMB." 260374Mark said: "Teeth can be too white. #gmb."
FlopsyPickle asked: "Why do these people have teeth like that? They look so so abnormal. Why not get them a natural white colour? #gmb." KentWomble quipped: "Bobby probably needs to dim the lights from his teeth before his flight lands… #GMB."
JerryMallett6 argued: "If they work all year then a few more hours on a plane without a drink won't make a difference. And that Bobby guy. Put a mask on him. His teeth are blinding me."
