It appears Boris Johnson may not be a regular ITV viewer as he suffered an awkward moment at the end of his interview with Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain.
It was a big moment for the news show as it has been nearly five years since the Prime Minister has given an interview on the programme. It also comes three years after he found himself in a fridge as he avoided one of GMB's reporters in the lead up to the 2019 General Election.
The interview was due to take up a chunk of the programme on Tuesday (May 3), however, GMB viewers were left baffled when the PM turned up late to the chat.

The interview still lasted around 30 minutes but sticking to the tight ITV schedule, Susanna, 51, tried to wrap up her chat with the Tory leader. As he carried on talking, the presenter told him: "Lorraine [Kelly] is waiting to take up all the issues that you have brought up in this interview."
But the PM muttered under his breath: "Who is Lorraine?" to which Susanna fired back: "Lorraine is a legend!" before the Scottish TV presenter herself appeared ready for her own show.
Ignoring the blunder, Lorraine praised her colleague's chat and said: "Wow! Thank you, Susanna... a masterclass in a political interview."
GMB viewers, however, weren't as quick to let it go. @Godisalwaysnear tweeted: "Boris on #GMB 'Who’s Lorraine?' Classic."
@philjardine01 commented: "The most unforgivable part of this interview is that boris doesn't appear to know who lorraine kelly is."
"Boris Johnson not knowing who Lorraine Kelly is was the real takeaway from that #GMB interview," @st_ua_rt wrote as @Ashley_McKay shared: "BORIS ASKING ‘WHO’S LORRAINE’ HAS TO BE THE FINAL NAIL IN HIS COFFIN."
"'Who’s Lorraine?' Okay Boris with the shadeeee #GMB," @georgiegeorgee said while @Gazzamundo7 argued: "Boris doesn’t even know who Lorraine is! The guy it totally out of touch with reality! #BorisJohnson #GMB."
Later, during her own show, Lorraine was clearly aware of what was being said on social media. "This is so funny..." she said as she looked at her iPad. "Loads of you are reacting to Boris Johnson earlier on, wondering who I was."
"Why should he know who I am?" the 62-year-old host then said on her self-titled ITV programme after a clip of the moment was played. ""He's busy in the morning, he wouldn't be watching. Although, he could learn a lot as you know."
She then added; "That was just so funny. A lot of people have said he's lost votes... he hasn't lost votes just because he doesn't know who I am but very, very funny."
