Kate Garraway pleaded for "help" after Vic Reeves' remark on today's Good Morning Britain.
The 55-year-old broadcaster fronted Friday's edition of the ITV news programme alongside Ben Shephard. The two interviewed Jim Moir at the end of the latest episode, who is better known by his iconic stage name.
The comedian is renowned for his double act with Bob Mortimer and has thrilled audiences for nearly 40 years with his unique brand of surreal humour. Away from the stage, Vic has also pursued a successful career as an artist.
