ITV Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway left embarrassed by April Fools' joke live on air

Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway was left embarrassed on the ITV studios on Friday morning as her co-hosts played an April Fool prank on her.

The 54-year-old was hosting the show this morning alongside Ben Shephard, and was left with scarlet cheeks during the entertainment segment of the ITV morning programme with Vick Hope.

The presenters were discussing the premiere of new film starring Harry Potter lead Daniel Radcliffe, as the actors and actresses walked the green carpet in London on Thursday night.

However, discussions quickly turned to a scene starring Magic Mike man Channing Tatum and esteemed actress Sandra Bullock.

As reported by the Mirror, Sandra explained at the premiere it wasn't weird doing an intimate scene with Channing, as both of them were focused on making sure each other felt comfortable.

As the lights in the ITV studio changed and iconic Magic Mike music played, entertainment host Vick Hope stated that they had a surprise guest turning up - none other than the man himself, Channing Tatum.

Excited Kate quickly fixed her hair and prepped herself for welcoming Channing - only to find out it was an elaborate prank that her two colleagues had played on her.

As Ben addressed the April Fools' joke, he admitted even he had nearly fallen for the team's elaborate joke.

The joke was a welcome distraction for Kate, as she spends her other time looking after husband Derek Draper long-term, as he continues to recover from long Covid after contracting the virus in 2020.

In a recent update, Kate reported: "Obviously he is still terribly affected by Covid, and undoubtedly it has had an effect on certainly brain connections to his body.

"I don't know about mental wellbeing if I'm absolutely honest, because he is still so affected in terms of communication and mobility that I wouldn't feel qualified to say whether it had had an impact in terms of depression and anxiety."

ITV's Good Morning Britain resumes on Monday, Aprill 3, at 6am on the channel.
