This Morning had to be paused by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield due to a "breaking news" announcement during Tuesday's show.
As ever, Holly and Phil were at the helm of the daytime programme, with guests invited to the studio to discuss the topics of the day. There were appearances from Martin Lewis who was on hand to answer viewers' urgent money questions, climate change activist Greta Thunberg and there was also the latest soap gossip with Sharon Marshall and fashion with Louise Roe.
From cosy cardigans to statement sweaters, Louise was on hand with her pick of the best knitwear to keep you all wrapped up this winter. But at the end of segment, instead of teasing what was still to come on the show before heading to an ad break, Holly and Phillip paused with some news, the MEN reports.

Phillip said: "Right then, we've got some breaking news now. We were talking about I'm A Celeb at the beginning of the show today but it's been reported by multiple news organisations that the Tory MP and former health secretary Matt Hancock will be heading to the I'm A Celebrity jungle."
A clip then played of Mr Hancock walking towards 10 Downing Street, as Holly jokingly asked: "Is he going there now?" before Phillip and the rest of the This Morning crew laughed.
She added: "He's got a long walk [but] he might get there by Sunday". Phillip said: "He's not dressed for it, he doesn't need that briefcase."
After it was revealed he has reportedly signed up to join I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! ahead of the 2022 series beginning this weekend, it was announced he had his Tory whip suspended with immediate effect. Mr Hancock is expected to swap representing his constituents at Westminster for eating bugs in the jungle.
