Richard Arnold caused quite the stir on Good Morning Britain on Friday (May 26) while celebrating 50 years of The Rocky Horror Show.
The presenter joined hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Ben Shepard in the ITV studio to chat about his latest visit to the West End. Ahead of a pre-recorded segment, the presenter warned viewers: 'Brace yourselves - because some things cannot be unseen."
The first thing viewers see as the clip plays is Richard, dressed in full Rocky gear as Frank N Furter. He's donning a red and black feather boa, matching corset, suspenders and heels, with his chest and legs on show.

Richard joked about his outfit: "Needless to say this came down from my loft." Cameras followed as he took on a dance masterclass in an empty theatre, joined by Ore Oduba, who plays Brad in the production.
Once the clip ended, back in the studio Ben pointed out that he could see his co-star's nipples in his outfit.
The light-hearted segment left viewers shocked, with many not expecting to see Richard so scantily-clad first thing in the morning. Many took to social media to share their bemusement at the unusual TV moment.

@FlopsyPickle complained: "I’m no prude but do we really need to see Richard Arnold in a pair of knickers, basque, stockings and suspenders and heels?"
