Rylan Clark left This Morning’s resident agony aunt in shock after cheekily asking her if she stole from Buckingham Palace, before saying he “knew she did”.
Clark was hosting the ITV flagship daytime show together with Josie Gibson on Thursday morning (November 2). Kicking off the show, agony aunt Deirdre Roberts was with the duo as she made her big announcement.
Earlier in the week, Deirdre was rewarded by the Prince of Wales Prince William for her services to charity and mental health. The royal then bestowed upon her an MBE, which recognises community achievements or services that help the person become a true role model.

Deirdre brought in her medal for the pair to gawk at, with Clark doting over how “beautiful” the award gifted to Roberts was. Josie joined in, adding: “Isn’t it lovely?”
Rylan joined in on the love, fawning over his This Morning co-star: “Honestly Deirdre, it’s a long time coming, in my opinion. I’m so glad you’ve been recognised like that.”
He then made a sly remark that left Deirdre shocked, as he asked her: “I’ve gotta ask, though – did you rob anything?”. Deirdre was left bewildered by his comment, responding: “Did I what?!”

Josie was left in stitches at the remark, as Deirdre tried to move on from the comment. “We are planning to go back,” to which Rylan believed that was an admission they were looking to steal.
“Well, that’s why she’s not telling us!” he exclaimed, as she confessed that they were looking to return to the Castle for a tour due to its beauty. But Rylan was not having any of it, saying: “You stole, didn’t ya! I know it – I’ve worked with you for years!”

Fans watching the show took to social media to congratulate Deirdre on her special award. But others were quick to jump on Rylan’s accusations at the same time.
One fan watching the show wrote: “Rylan! Deirdre isn’t stealing things from people’s houses!”. Whilst a second viewer was less than impressed with Rylan’s remark, commenting: “Rylan asking the most stupid question”.
A third account had a more positive outlook on the situation, gushing over the presenter. They added: “Rylan said, ‘Did you Rob anything?’ I bloody love him!”
This Morning airs every weekday at 10am on ITV1 and ITVX.
