Good Morning Britain stars Susanna Reid and Ed Balls couldn’t hide their dismay after a guest arrived late for an interview.
The TV duo teamed up once again on Wednesday (September 13) as they presented the top headlines with viewers across the country.
During the show, Susanna, 52, and Ed, 56, were speaking to political journalist Kevin Maguire who was meant to be joined broadcaster Andrew Pierce, but they were instead greeted with an empty seat.

As the 62-year-old finally arrived to the studio, Susanna said: “We can do a little drum roll because Andrew Pierce has decided working from home no longer works for him.
“He’s made his way into the studio, welcome!”

The camera then panned to Andrew as ITV staff were equipping him with microphone.
As the political commentator walked towards Ed and Susanna, she said: “Maybe smooth your hair a little bit? It’s got a little ruffle.”
Sitting down, Andrew was asked whether he had an explanation as to why he was late.
He responded: “Yes, I heard the clock and I thought I’d turn the clock [off] and I went back to sleep!”

“I haven’t done that for years,” he added.
A shocked Ed responded: “That is an amateur error.”
Clearly floored by Andrew’s confession of only having one alarm, Ed turned to his co-host and asked how many she uses.
The mum-of-three replied: “I have the alarm on my phone and I also press snooze, but then I have a backup alarm Andrew Pierce, schoolboy error.”

Defending himself, Andrew hit back: “The backup alarm didn’t work and I won’t put my phone clock on because I don’t know how to work it.”
After Susanna told her guest that she would teach him how to work the alarm on his phone after today’s programme, Andrew exclaimed: “You have children! Ed has children and I don’t.”
To which Kevin chipped in: “You’re just a child.”
