ITV's flagship morning programme found itself in unexpected hysterics today as presenter Cat Deeley completely lost her composure during an interview with comedy legend Bob Mortimer.
Television Gold Unfolds Live on Air
What began as a standard celebrity interview quickly transformed into must-watch television when Mortimer launched into one of his famously bizarre stories, this time concerning his dog's peculiar bathroom habits. The veteran comedian described in vivid detail how his pet has developed an unusual preference for doing its business while maintaining intense eye contact with its owner.
Deeley's Battle Against the Giggles
Deeley, usually the picture of professional composure, found herself completely undone by Mortimer's deadpan delivery of the absurd anecdote. Viewers watched in delight as the presenter's shoulders began to shake uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face while she desperately tried to continue hosting duties.
'I can't look at you, Bob!' Deeley gasped between laughter, covering her face with her hands as the studio crew could be heard joining in the merriment off-camera.
Social Media Erupts
The moment quickly went viral across social media platforms, with viewers praising the genuine, unscripted nature of the exchange. Many commented that it was the most authentic and entertaining moment they'd seen on morning television in years.
One viewer tweeted: 'This is exactly why we need Bob Mortimer on television more often. Pure, unadulterated joy!'
A Welcome Break from Routine
The segment served as a refreshing reminder of the magic that can happen during live television when personalities genuinely connect and abandon scripted formalities. Mortimer, known for his surreal humour on shows like 'Would I Lie To You?', once again proved his unique ability to find comedy in the most ordinary situations.
For Deeley, the incident showcased her relatable, human side - a presenter willing to laugh at herself and embrace the unpredictable nature of live broadcasting.
