To which Kate explained: “Yeah, he’s on sky news, BBC Breakfast, LBC and done an interview with ITV News and we just have an empty chair in Westminster.
“And Mr Lewis it felt like it was left to me this morning and I’m not sure that’s a position you’re comfortable with let alone me.
“And you’re right, Boris Johnson could speak out but so could the people around him to clarify it, couldn’t they?”
Ben then quipped: “That chair is open Mr Lewis if you are around and about if you fancy it this morning.”

Kate then added: “They do a good brew at our studios at Westminster as well so you could refresh yourself but apparently it was too busy.”
GMB viewers discussed the snub on social media, with one saying: “Brandon Lewis doing the rounds on TV defending Johnson but will not go on Good Morning Britain What is he frightened of Kate Garraway and Ben Shepherd Another coward btw normally tries to bully his way through interviews Though bullies and cowards always go hand in hand”

Talking about Boris’ antis, a second added: “#gmb he made the rules, he asked us to follow the rules, he is the prime minister, he is supposed to lead by example. the bottom line is boris johnson has absolutely no respect for british citizens and very little respect for the country he has been elected to govern.”
While another complimented the presenting duo and said: “Really enjoy watching @kategarraway and @benshephard on @GMB By far my favourite presenting and interviewing morning tv duo! Clapping hands sign”
