Watch moment mortified Kate Garraway is told to ‘let guest talk’ by Good Morning Bosses as she’s scolded live on air during I’m A Celeb interview

Kate Garraway was scolded by bosses told to ‘let the guest talk’ in an awkward moment during Thursday’s Good Morning Britain.

The TV presenter, 57, was fronting the show alongside her co-host Richard Madeley, 63, when they welcomed comedian Babatúndé Aléshé to the studio for an interview.

He appeared on the ITV programme to dish out his best I’m A Celeb survival tips and share his opinion on this year’s line-up, after going Down Under himself as a campmate who took part in the 2022 series.

He was candidly explaining why he couldn’t take part in the Walk The Plank challenge, which saw him forfeit and break down in tears.

Kate quickly chimed in to share her own experience with the task when she gave it a go as a contestant in 2019.

Babatúndé explained: ‘When Charlene [White] walked out they drew the plank away after she got to the end, so I was like oh once I get there I’m stuck, and that was enough for me.’

Kate quipped: ‘It’s so windy, nobody tells you that. When I did it they took Ant and Dec downstairs for a bit because they were just checking all the security and I was like “What about us?”

‘It was so frightening and they always put tricks in like there was gaps, there was a seesaw. Mine was a stepladder down and then you go onto another plank and look down.’

She then talked about the science behind the fear of heights, explaining: ‘It is a very basic fear, the fear of heights.

‘There’s been a lot of research done and one piece of research was that they put crawling babies in a room in a Perspex square.’

Kate went on to explain the study, before joking: ‘We’re going off on a tangent here…’

After hearing a warning from the producers in her ear piece, she admitted: ‘They just told me to let you talk, it’s a fair point, you are the guest.’

Switching to a new subject, Richard asked Babatúndé: ‘Who’s your money on then?,’ to which he replied: ‘Ohh I don’t know, it’s not even really started yet.’

Viewers were quick to pick up on the awkward interview moment and rushed to social media to share their thoughts, writing:

‘Richard and Kate just love the sound of their own voices. Just talking over each other and the guests. It’s Painful #gmb.’

‘I thought this was about Babatunde #gmb.’

‘Man can’t get a word in with these 2 muppets! Shut the f***up!! #GMB.’

‘How many times is Kate going to cut straight over Richard during this interview? How rude?! #GMB.’

It comes just after Richard addressed his shoplifting arrest in the 1990s live on Good Morning Britain as he claimed it was ‘easy to forget to pay for things’.

The broadcaster was presenting the ITV breakfast show last week alongside co-host Kate Garraway, during a segment about granting security guards in stores increased powers.

The duo discussed the suggestion that store detectives be allowed to arrest or maybe handcuff suspected shoplifters, with it even being suggested supermarkets have cells built inside them.

Switching to a new subject, Richard asked Babatúndé: 'Who's your money on then?,' to which he replied: 'Ohh I don't know, it's not even really started yet'

Urging viewers to give their opinions on the idea, Kate said: ‘There’s such a scourge of shoplifting and it’s causing so many problems for shopkeepers and for everybody else. So let us know what you think.’

After reading out some comments that had been sent in, Richard gave his thoughts, acknowledging his own experiences.

He said: ‘I know from my own experience that it’s very easy to forget to pay for stuff.’

The presenter went on: ‘And woah, just a minute a store detective, would you really accept a store detective putting you in cuffs?

‘I mean, you would say, “Woah, hold on! I’ve just made an honest mistake, let me explain.” There’s a lot to go out there.’

Richard was arrested in 1994 for allegedly failing to pay for items, including champagne, on two occasions at a Tesco supermarket in Walkden, Greater Manchester. A jury later found him not guilty of the offence after he cited a lapse of memory.

Speaking about the incident to The Sun last year, he said: ‘Thank God Twitter wasn’t around then. But the whole thing was so self-evidently b****cks, that my not paying was an oversight.

‘It was leaked by someone at Tesco. At the time though, I thought, “Well, of course it’s going to be OK because otherwise the world’s gone mad.” I never felt I was going to get cancelled.

‘Granada Television were fantastic. And the Monday after they found out, and knew the facts of the case and knew it was rubbish, they told me not to worry.

‘We carried on as normal. I went to crown court, my lawyer told me to get in front of a jury so people could see it was an obvious oversight. So that’s what I did. And I was absolutely acquitted.

‘But I told viewers about it. I mean, Judy had to open This Morning on her own while I was in court for two minutes, then I’d get in my car and drive from Manchester to Liverpool, rock up, walk on the set while she was mid-interview, and sit down and join in. It was surreal.’

He added: ‘After the trial, it was as if it had never happened. I’ve never really spoken about it because, as I said at the start of this interview, when you’re on camera you’re only one sentence away, and you can so easily get it wrong.’
