Good Morning Britain presenter Ben Shephard was forced to apologise to viewers on Friday as the ITV breakfast show was hit with a series of technical blunders.
Ben and Charlotte Hawkins were on presenting duty this morning but things turned awkward when they told viewers what was coming up on today’s show.
There was a clear technical issue when reporter Jonathan Swain as he chatted to the hosts.
Presenter Charlotte, 45, asked Jonathan about quarantine rules regarding people visiting or leaving the UK amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

Jonathan appeared on screen and began talking but without any sound.
All viewers at home could hear during the short segment was murmurs and background noise as his microphone failed to work.
GMB fans were left wondering what was going on, as others mocked the situation which made Jonathan sound robotic.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer penned “He’s feeling a little hoarse this morning.”

Another added: “Turn on the mic!”
A third said : “I’m guessing we have to lip read lol.”
A fourth said: “The joys of technology.”
Jonathan said his entire segment in silence, uninterrupted by the hosts as he remained unaware no one could hear him.

Host Ben, 45, apologised to viewers as he revealed the show had faced a technical issue.
Jonathan was not the only person to suffer a technical blunder this morning as Ben had to step in as one of the show’s guests was unexpectedly taken off air in the midst of a discussion about coronavirus lockdown.
Ben was stunned when hairdresser Debra Adamson, who will be opening her salon at midnight, disappeared off-screen.
Luckily, Ben and Charlotte’s conversation with Debra had almost been completed before the video call went blank.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
