ITV’s This Morning was filled with laughter and a touch of drama when host Cat Deeley jokingly stormed off the set after being branded a “dirtbag” by celebrity chef Donal Skehan.
The lighthearted moment unfolded during a cooking segment where Donal was preparing his signature banoffee pie.
The incident took place as Donal was gearing up to demonstrate his delicious dessert recipe.
As Cat and co-host Ben Shephard introduced the segment, Donal was quick to call out Cat for her sneaky behavior behind the scenes.
The TV presenter had cheekily dipped a Biscoff biscuit into the mixture before the official cooking demonstration had even begun.
“Are you going to tell everyone what you just did?” Donal playfully confronted Cat, revealing,
“She picked up a Biscoff and literally dipped it in and took a big bite. You are a dirtbag.”
Cat, feigning outrage at the humorous accusation, responded in dramatic fashion by walking off the set, declaring, “Bye, bye everybody!” Her exit left Donal and Ben in fits of laughter as the show transitioned into an advertisement break.
The playful exchange was a hit with audiences, who took to social media to share their amusement over the spontaneous moment. Fans praised Cat for her comedic timing and fun-loving personality, which have made her a beloved addition to the This Morning hosting team.
Viewer Reactions to Nigel Farage’s Appearance
Elsewhere in the episode, a different segment sparked a less jovial reaction from viewers. This Morning featured an interview with Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage, who discussed his recent trip to the United States and his experience attending Donald Trump’s political events.
During the conversation, Farage reflected on a particularly memorable moment from Trump’s inauguration rally. “I will never forget the victory rally on the eve of Inauguration and there’s Trump, and the Village People come on stage, and he’s dancing on stage with them,” he recalled. “You can like Trump, you can loathe him, but he’s won fair and square.”
However, not all viewers were pleased with Farage’s presence on the show. Many took to social media to express their frustration, questioning why the politician was invited to appear. One viewer tweeted, “Farage! FFS Why? #thismorning,” while another wrote, “Farage. WTF #thismorning.” A third person commented on the coincidence of Farage appearing on TV during Chinese New Year, joking, “@Nigel_Farage quite funny seeing a snake with you on TV for Chinese New Year. Quite fitting. #snake #farage #thismorning.”
Good Morning Britain Interrupted by AI-Generated Trump Video
Meanwhile, over on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, an unexpected moment captured the attention of viewers when the broadcast was momentarily interrupted to showcase a bizarre AI-generated video linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The unusual clip, reportedly shared on Trump’s social media, featured golden statues of the former president, along with AI-generated images of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu relaxing at a resort by a pool. Adding to the surreal nature of the video was a song playing in the background, with lyrics proclaiming: “Donald’s coming to set you free, bringing the light for all to see, no more tunnels, no more fear: Trump Gaza’s finally here.”
The video’s appearance on Good Morning Britain left many viewers baffled, with social media buzzing over its bizarre and surreal imagery. The segment was part of a discussion on AI-generated content and the role it plays in modern political narratives.
