Kate Garraway asks 'what's happening' as live GMB news report thrown into chaos
Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway was left asking 'what's happening' as a live report was thrown into chaos on Thursday
Kate Garraway found herself battling distractions on Thursday's Good Morning Britain when a live news report went unexpectedly off-script.
During the latest instalment, Kate, 58, spoke to Chief Correspondent for Good Morning Britain, Richard Gaisford, live from Istanbul.
They were talking about the reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin won't be travelling to Turkey for peace talks with Ukraine, despite calls from President Zelensky for him to attend.
During the serious broadcast, however, a group of seagulls began to disrupt the segment as they loudly squawked and made dramatic dives towards Richard.
Kate was compelled to say: "Fascinating report as always Richard on a very serious subject but I can't help but be slightly distracted.
"Do you have a bag of chips hidden by your feet or something? As you appear to be dive bombed, what's happening with the seagulls?", reports Devon Live.
Richard then clarified: "I'm on a rooftop here, overlooking The Blue Mosque, and yes people are feeding the seagulls.
"So many TikTokers, Instagrammers, surrounding me here Kate while I try to talk about something just a little more serious."
Ever professional, Kate replied: "Thank you very much indeed, professional as always!".
It comes hot on the heels of confirmation that Kate will participate in The Celebrity Traitors, lining up alongside other stars such as Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry - to name a few.
Only last month, rumours of Kate joining the show emerged, particularly as she took some time away from her usual spot on Good Morning Britain.
During a cheeky segment on Good Morning Britain in April, the presenters were musing over rumours swirling about The Celebrity Traitors' potential cast list.
Showbiz reporter Melvin Odoom joked: "None of us have been able to get hold of Kate on the phone to confirm or deny this but I don't know about you guys, but I'm very suspicious and it makes me even more suspicious."
His banter led Susanna Reid to quip: "She'll make an excellent Traitor if we can't even get hold of her!" which prompted Melvin to suggest: "I think you need to send her a message right now!" with Susanna playfully hitting back: "She'll neither confirm nor deny, I'm sure!" as Melvin pushed: "Let's do it anyway!"
Rising to the challenge, co-host Richard Madeley didn't hesitate to grab his phone and ping Kate a text live on air.
With Melvin eager for an update, questioning "Have you done it?" Richard replied, "Yeah...", and later grilled further by Melvin asking: "Nothing yet?"

Peter Kay announces very different project away from stage after bullying claims
Comedian Peter Kay has announced a very different new project after being hit with bullying claims on his UK tour when he decided to boot hecklers out of his show Peter Kay is ready to take on a new challenge as he has revealed his new project away from his mammoth tour. The comedian, 51, recently returned to the spotlight and has been performing his act in arenas up and down the country. Earlier this year, Peter hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons as he was filmed kicking a heckler out of his show. He halted his performance and had security remove a number of fans after claiming they were spoiling the show for the rest of the attendees. However, after he labelled one ejected fan " Lisa Riley" and the remark caused a scandal, with the heckler claiming Peter was a "bully". Now, it seems Peter is ready to turn the page on the drama as he sets his sights on a very different career. Peter has revealed he has put pen to paper and promises to detail his life in his most personal book yet. In true Peter style, the book hilariously nods to Bridget Jones' Diary, as the comedian's face sits on top of the iconic character. Announcing the news, he said: "Introducing… Peter Kay's Diary: The Monthly Memoir of a Boy from Bolton, Peter's most personal and hilarious book yet. Join Peter for a laugh-out-loud journey through his life, month by month." A teaser for the book added: "Think of this autobiography as a twelve-month subscription to my memories and meanderings across the calendar year. With each month reflecting a different phase of my life, complete with dodgy decisions, bizarre plot twists and more than a few laugh-out-loud moments." Back in February, Peter dealt with hecklers at his Better Late Than Never... Again! gig at Manchester's AO Arena - but things didn't quite go as he'd planned. While he said it wasn't an insult, and Lisa herself acknowledged there was no ill-meaning, the woman in question fumed that the star had humiliated her. "Go on, off you go, Lisa Riley," Peter had jibed, making a comparison to the former Emmerdale actress. Shortly after his remark on his decision to eject the fan in Manchester, Peter opened up on the incident on Good Morning Britain. "I didn't realise it was an insult," he said. "She did look remarkably like Lisa Riley, I didn't realise that was an insult." But despite his insistence there was no dig meant, the woman in question revealed she was mortified. Myar Curran accused the star of being a "bully". Speaking herself on the ITV show, Myar said: "I didn't mean to cause any harm, I was just showing my love as he kicked someone out, but he obviously didn't like it." She added: "I feel like what I said was not abusive or aggressive - it wasn't anti-social and I wasn't drunk. I was just standing u,p chanting 'we love you Peter, we do'. It's just been a bit over the top, his reaction." A month later, Peter threatened to kick even more audience members out of his show at London's O2 Arena. Brushing off the previous backlash, he poked fun at the criticism he faced as he once again halted his show to make an example of one of his fans. Addressing the crowds, he asked: "Is it them in that box? Is that them? Who is it? Eh, it's you monkeys there. Now then, what are we going to do with you now? These people in this area now, do any of you look like Lisa Riley? No, alright," he joked as the crowd erupted into laughter. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, an audience member said: "Peter waded in as the crowd was audibly kicking off due to some disagreement in the crowd. He poked fun at the idea of kicking them out, then dished out the issue to his security. "But he did reference it again twice in the show as they kept shouting, comparing it to a 'boot sale' at one point. It seemed like the audience in the area wanted him to kick the person out due to all the drama."

Wimbledon icon Maria Sharapova looks totally different five years after retiring
Wimbledon icon Maria Sharapova looks totally different five years after retiring The former tennis superstar has left fans doing a double take after changing her iconic look in recent years Sharapova shot to fame after winning Wimbledon as a teenager in 2004 Former tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has undergone a striking transformation since the glory days of her career, leaving a number of fans doing a double take as she was pictured at an event earlier this week. The 38-year-old - who retired from professional tennis in 2020 - shot to fame as a fresh-faced teenager, when she beat top seed Serena Williams in the final at Wimbledon to lift the title aged just 17. She kept her iconic blonde locks throughout her career, but Sharapova now has a different look five years after leaving the sport behind. Alongside her British businessman fiance Alex Gilkes, she attended the 60th anniversary celebration of the Hotel II Pellicano in Monte Argentario, Italy, on Monday, with photos from the event leading fans to brand her as "unrecognisable", having ditched her famous blonde hair for a more natural brunette look. As a player, of course, Sharapova went on to win all four Grand Slam titles, following up her 2004 Wimbledon triumph with a US Open title two years later. The Russian star then won the Australian Open in 2008 before tasting victory twice at Roland Garros as she won the French Open in both 2012 and 2014, having also reached the final in 2013. In 2012, she won an Olympic silver medal at the London Games, losing to Williams in the women's singles final at SW19. Article continues below As well as being the third-youngest woman to win a Wimbledon title, Sharapova also became the first Russian player to complete a career Grand Slam. Her accolades weren't just confined to the tennis court, however, as her global profile soared and she was named as "the hottest athlete in the world" by Maxim for four consecutive years. The tennis star was also named as one of the top 100 most powerful celebrities in the world by Forbes between 2005 and 2011, while she modelled for the likes of Sports Illustrated. Sharapova and her fiance Alex Gilkes at the Hotel Il Pellicano 60th anniversary in Monte Argentario, Italy However, Sharapova's illustrious career was marred n 2016 when she received a 15-month suspension - reduced from two years - for failing a drug test for meldonium. While she owned up to the mistake, she maintained that she had mistakenly taken the drug on her doctor's advice, without realising it had been banned by WADA. Since leaving tennis behind, Sharapova - who has 4.6 million followers on Instagram - has made the most of her life in retirement, jetting off on luxury trips with Gilkes, who she revealed she was engaged to in December 2020. In July 2022, the pair welcomed their first child, Theodore, together, with Sharapova's Instagram bio now proudly reading 'Mama'. The fomer tennis icon - who boasts career winnings of £31 million - has also successfully transitioned into business, launching her confectionary brand Sugarpova and investing in sunscreen brand supergoop at the height of her career. However, she has stepped up her business ambitions since retiring, investing in wellness brand therabody before joing the board of directors of top fashion brand Moncler in 2022. Article continues below Sharapova also acts as an advisor to brands Naked Retail and Bright, while she has invested in several other companies including UFC, Tonal, Moonpay and Clio Snacks.

Rylan Clark admits 'we might as well put a ring on it' in Rob Rinder update
Rylan Clark has remarked that he and Rob Rinder might as well 'put a ring on it' after the X Factor star declared that they are like a married couple in a new interview Rylan Clark has quipped he "might as well put a ring on it" with TV partner Rob Rinder after likening their dynamic to a married couple's relationship. He made the comments during a chat with Reverend Richard Coles on his BBC show Rylan: How To Be In Love, where former I'm a Celebrity contestant Richard joked, "You've got Rob Rinder all over you like a rash." Rylan agreed with the statement and then replied: "We are like a married couple, we row all the time and don't have sex like a proper married couple. We might as well put a ring on it." While fans have speculated about the nature of Rylan and Rob's connection following their closeness on the BBC Grand Tour series, Rylan confirmed that their bond is strictly non-romantic. In his podcast series, the Radio 2 presenter has been candid about his journey of seeking new love post-divorce, sharing his apprehensions with Richard: "I want to find the next love of my life. I've been married, I thought I'd found the love of my life, I hadn't." He also shared the emotional toll of ending his marriage to Dan Neal, saying: "As much as my ex didn't pass away, I still went through that grief in my own way. For a long time I thought, 'I'm going to be single forever, like, how can I meet someone now?'". Earlier in the podcast Rylan quizzed Richard about his experiences with dating after his late husband, David Coles, died in December 2019. Richard, speaking in an interview with The Guardian after David's passing, previously reflected on the struggles his late partner faced, saying: "One of the problems David had was that the public life I led meant that people felt they had a sort of claim on me, and in ways that cut across his claim as my significant other." The moment became profound when Richard remembered the intrusion David went through, revealing: "Literally, sometimes people would push him out of the way. He was very good about it. He made a joke about it. But I think it must have been very irritating for him." Richard's experience mirrors that of Rylan, who shared with Stephen Fry his dilemma regarding dating while in the limelight: "One thing I'm finding really difficult when it comes down to dating is that people think I'm Rylan when, in honesty, I'm Ross." Opening up further, Ross, better known by his stage name Rylan, confessed: "I need to work out, 'Do you want to date Rylan and what Rylan can give you, or do you want to date the real me?'". Understanding the sentiment behind Rylan's words, Stephen expressed empathy, despite not sharing the same predicament, attributing it to his husband Elliott's indifference to celebrity gatherings, noting: "I do know what you mean exactly, because I don't, at home, quote poems and literature and use long words. "One thing I think is good and it's not to diss other types, but as it happens, Elliott is not interested in red carpets and glamorous openings and things like that. "Being famous is a picnic, but occasionally at a picnic there will be wasps and the wasps are the press and the trolls who will drive you indoors as it were, and you're aware that you're giving that as a problem to someone who comes into your life."
