Good Morning Britain (GMB) viewers were left scratching their heads this morning when ITV accidentally aired a pre-recorded episode instead of the usual live broadcast. The mishap led to confusion as weather forecasts and news segments appeared outdated, with eagle-eyed fans quickly pointing out the blunder on social media.
The episode, which was supposed to be live, featured presenters Susanna Reid and Ed Balls discussing topics that had already been covered in previous days. One sharp viewer tweeted: "Why is GMB showing yesterday’s weather map? Did someone forget to press the ‘live’ button?"
Another noticed that a news segment about a recent political development was recycled from an earlier broadcast. "This interview was literally on two days ago—what’s going on?" wrote a frustrated fan.
ITV has yet to comment on the technical glitch, but sources suggest a scheduling error may be to blame. The incident has sparked debate about the reliability of live TV, with some viewers joking that they’d "tuned into a time warp."
This isn’t the first time GMB has faced criticism. The show has previously been called out for on-air mistakes, including mispronunciations and autocue failures. However, today’s blunder takes the cake for sheer awkwardness.
Will ITV address the slip-up? For now, fans are left wondering if tomorrow’s episode will actually be live—or just another rerun in disguise.
