Good Morning Britain took an awkward turn on Friday (June 12) when Labour minister Peter Kyle repeatedly addressed co-host Ranvir Singh as 'Kate' during a tense interview. The mix-up occurred as Kyle discussed the recent resignations of two parliamentary aides and the departure of former Defence Secretary John Healey.
Throughout the interview, Kyle referred to both presenters as Kate, despite Ranvir having introduced herself at the start. Viewers quickly noticed the error, with one writing on X: 'Why does Peter Kyle keep calling Ranvir, Kate?' Another quipped: 'The lies are taking their toll on Kyle, he looks exhausted and can barely get the presenters' names right.'
As Kate Garraway wrapped up the segment, she pointed out the mistake live on air, saying: 'Thank you, and it was Ranvir as well as me, Peter, you have Ranvir.' The Labour minister was full of apologies as Kate chuckled: 'It's fine, we do look a lot alike.' Ranvir added: 'It's fine, I like being mixed up with Kate.'
The interview had begun with Ranvir questioning Kyle about defence spending following Healey's resignation, which he said was due to fears that the country was not investing enough in defence. Kyle defended the government's plans, stating that 'historic amounts' were being invested and a detailed 10-year plan would be presented before the NATO summit.
