An early start to the day can catch us all out - maybe even more so on a Monday.
And so it proved for popular Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid as she was left a little red-faced when making a mistake live on TV. It took the 52-year-old's co-host Ed Balls, 56, to point out her error.
The dream team were back at the helm of the ITV show on Monday, June 26, reports the Star. Hot topics on the programme were news of Sarah Ferguson’s cancer diagnosis, as well as Elton John’s emotional performance at Glastonbury.

But things took an awkward turn when Susanna, who has fronted the show for almost 10 years, appeared to forget what time it was.
“Good Morning Britain, it’s just gone six o’clock, welcome to the programme,” said Susanna, welcoming the viewers at home. But Susanna was wrong with the time and straight away Ed interrupted and corrected her. “Seven o’clock,” he chimed in.
Looking red-faced, Susanna corrected herself quickly: “It’s just gone seven o’clock, welcome to the programme.” She went on: “You don’t have an extra hour in bed. I’m so sorry, my mistake.”
Ed then went on: “It’s definitely seven, it’s not eight and it’s not six,” while Susanna laughed along in the background. This wasn't the only blunder to happen on GMB recently. ITV favourite Ranvir Singh made an awkward live gaffe during the show a few weeks ago.
She was co-hosting the show alongside Ben Shephard, but Ranvir was running on very little sleep as she revealed she went to a Lionel Richie gig the night before.
And the telly legend most definitely had a great time, as she told Ben on GMB that she “didn’t get in until half 1 in the morning.”
Despite her lack of sleep, everything was running smoothly on GMB - that was until it was time for Ranvir to inform viewers about an upcoming segment.
“Still to come,” Ranvir began, before adding: “Finding out which singing superstar is being blamed for Sweden’s high in-.”
But suddenly, she stopped mid-sentence and seemed to struggle to read the autocue. “Is that how you say it? she quizzed while muttering: “Infatuation?”
Correcting her, co-host Ben chimed in and said: “Inflation.” In a savage dig, while she fluffed her words, Ranvir’s pal and co-star Ben quipped: “You might want to try reading it before reading it live.”
Laughing along with her co-stars, Ranvir said: “Did I mention I got in at half 1 this morning?” She then told Ben: “Maybe you should do all the reading from now on.”
