Good Morning Britain viewers spotted newsreader Kate Garroway texting during a live interview.
Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid were interviewing three guests about giving meat substitutes names such as 'sausage' and 'burger', when fans of the ITV breakfast show saw Kate on her phone.
While the heated debate continued, the camera panned out to show the whole studio, catching Kate in the corner, to the right of Piers, eagle-eyed viewers quickly tweeted about her being distracted.
One said: "Who is Kate texting?? Shouldn't she be paying attention??"
Another said: "Why is Kate texting though?"
A third added: "Kate’s texting her agent asking whether she’s allowed to speak."
Another said: "Kate has a face like thunder, she must be reading the tweets."
The 52-year-old joined ITV in 1994, becoming co-presenter on South East edition of ITV New Meridian in 1998.
She then landed a job at Sunrise on Sky in 1998. Following her time there, the mum-of-two joined GMTV in September 2000 and has been one of the main presenters since then.
*Good Morning Britain is on ITV1, mornings from 6am
