Watch as Kate Garraway is forced to sneak back onto the sofa after loo break makes her late for Strictly stars’ GMB chat

KATE Garraway burst into a fit of giggles as she was forced to sneak back onto the Good Morning Britain sofa after a loo dash made her late. Her mis-timed comfort break, which extended past the commercial adverts, left her ITV co-host Adil Ray forced to front a chat with Strictly‘s Amy Dowden and Carlos Gu solo.

She was seen taking a perch by Adil, 52, and smoothing out the skirt of her pale pink dress as Amy said: “Oh hello!” Sign up for the TV newsletter Thank you! The Good Morning Britain favourite then replied: “I’m so sorry. “I took a little bit too long in the shower, in the loo,” before covering her mouth with her hands as she started laughing.

The show’s fresh surroundings have caused fury with some, with staff “mutiny” over rules including a toaster ban. Some have also slammed the studio as feeling like “constant winter” while an evacuation forced GMB to be pulled off-air in March. Kate’s mishap came after The Sun exclusively reported an “autumn of misery” for the programme – thanks to the Rugby World Cup. Most read in Showbiz All 37 matches of the hotly-anticipated sporting event will air on the channel airing between Fridays and Mondays. The tournament will run between October 1 and November 13 2027. It is being played in Australia and the time difference means that matches will have broadcast start times between 4am and 10am. That’s bad news for the embattled ITV daytime schedule with GMB, This Morning and even Loose Women facing being pulled off air. A source told The Sun: “Getting the rights for the World Cup is great for ITV but it’s bad news for everyone at daytime. “Ratings are already terrible and morale is low with all the cuts, the last thing they want is being pulled off air to make way for sports. “It’s happened to the soaps for years and left them in shoddy shape. “The worry is that even one day of people switching over to BBC Breakfast and Morning Live will mean another viewer switching over permanently. “This Morning and Good Morning Britain have lost millions of viewers already – they can’t afford to lose any more.” Comment now
