Good Morning Britain star Andi Peters was forced to apologise to Kate Garraway on air.
GMB was hosted by Kate and Robert Rinder on Friday (June 28) as Andi was on hand to share the latest competition updates. Kate, 57, revealed that one lucky fan could win a huge amount of money if they entered the competition.
A whopping £250,000 was up for grabs, so she tried to hand over to Andi, 53. But unfortunately, he wasn’t listening and was, instead, chatting to co-star Charlotte Hawkins.

“Andi is so excited about the prize,” Kate said, not resisting a pop at Peters for losing focus. “He’s got up early. He’s joining us in the studio. He’s having a good old gossip with Charlotte Hawkins… ignoring us?” Kate continued before shouting her co-star’s name, cutting him off.
Andi was quick to apologise and yelled “Sorry!” from across the studio, admitting he was having a pop at Charlotte’s outfit. He added: “I was just telling Charlotte she looks like she’s been tangoed.”
Charlotte, who was wearing a bright orange dress, said: “Yeah, thanks for that.” Kate, who was wearing a bright pink blouse, quipped: “We’re a couple of highlighter pens this morning, Charlotte and I.”
Kate tried to hold back tears during an emotional interview on Thursday’s GMB. The mum-of-two was speaking to the parents of Charlie Cosser, who was stabbed to death at a gathering in West Sussex.
Kate and co-host Rob Rinder were joined by Tara and Martin Cosser, who are campaigning for tougher knife crime laws, following the death of their son at the age of 17. Kate asked: “And your own grief, you know the centre of that sort of stone that ripples out … people react in different ways.
“How have you tried to manage the last year and what do you want people to know about how hard it is, really?” Tara explained: “Martin and I grieve in very different ways. I feel comfort … well, not comfort … but I want to be at home. You know that’s where Charlie was, all my memories.”
“That’s too painful for Martin – he wants to escape. So you know we don’t actually spend a huge [amount] of time together in the house. It’s just a very, very lonely place because no one can possibly understand unless you’ve been through this.”
Kate, who seemed to choke back tears during the interview, is far too familiar with grief as her husband Derek Draper died aged 56 in January following a lengthy battle with COVID-19.
