ITV This Morning host pleads 'oh don't' as star walks off set midway through segment
Gyles Brandreth left This Morning presenters Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley stunned when he abruptly left the set during Monday's ITV show.
The 77-year-old presenter chose to exit the discussion as it shifted towards "ghostworking" - the concept that employees pretend to be busy whilst actually doing very little.
Gyles then mentioned: "As well as ghostworking, have you heard about revenge quitting? This is an interesting phenomenon - one in seven people admit to revenge quitting, this is where an employee walks out at the most inconvenient time."
He then illustrated his point by humorously exiting the studio, off camera, stating: "So it's been lovely knowing you all."
Cat implored him with a surprised, "Oh Gyles, don't," urging him to return for the next part of the show. "Come back and talk about wedding photos," reports Wales Online.
Ben chuckled and joked, commenting on Gyles' recent gripes about the costs of being a grandfather: "Who is going to pay for the grandkids if you storm out?"
Gyles frequently joins the hosts, who stepped into Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's shoes in March last year, alongside other broadcasters and journalists to discuss current affairs on the programme.
Despite the show facing scandal in 2023 when Schofield confessed to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger male colleague, Gyles has expressed how much he values being part of the This Morning team.
He previously exclaimed: "We are very happy to be here. Can I say that as well? This is a happy place to work.
"I enjoy coming in here and have done since I began coming in."
The Celebrity Gogglebox star became a familiar face on This Morning starting from 2021, and his choice of lively jumpers has consistently amused the audience.
His remarks about the programme were made following Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond's comments on This Morning being the subject of media buzz.
Dermot had remarked: "We happen to be in the news at the moment and of course we appreciate that, but just from both of us and the whole team here, the crew, the guys downstairs, we love making this show for all of you."
Alison chimed in with: "We really do and that's exactly what we're going to do."
This Morning is on ITV weekdays at 10am and on ITVX

Emmerdale and Corrie times this week - full soap schedule amid ITV shake-up
Emmerdale and Coronation Street face a huge schedule change this week as ITV continue with their sports coverage. Here's when you'll find Emmerdale and Coronation Street on this week Emmerdale and Coronation Street fans face a huge shake-up this week as the soaps move times for the football. As usually happens, the soaps have been displaced this week on ITV to allow for the airing of various football matches. Those hoping to kick off their week with some Emmerdale and Coronation Street will be sorely disappointed as both soaps won't air on Monday due to back to back football coverage. The same will apply for Wednesday, with no soaps on. On Tuesday, viewers will be treated to a trip to the Dales whilst on Thursday, soap fans who love the drama in the Woolpack and the chaos on the Cobbles will get two full hours of soaps - one hour from each programme. Friday is the only day where the soaps will air as normal, with Emmerdale airing at 7.30pm and Coronation Street airing for its usual hour slot at 8pm. There will be no soaps on the weekend, despite 'missing' episodes. Usually we get three hours of Coronation Street every week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and three hours of Emmerdale every week (half an hour each day and an hour on Thursday). However, this week, we will only get two hours of Emmerdale and two hours of Coronation Street across the five days. This actually aligns more with the plans for the soaps from 2026. From next January, the soaps have been cut by half an hour each. Instead of airing at their current pattern, there will be a 'power hour' of soaps. Emmerdale episodes will air at 8pm, and Coronation Street episodes will air at 8.30pm. These will air in half an hour slots from 2026, meaning the soaps will be cut down by half an hour each each week. Kevin Lygo, ITV's Managing Director of Media and Entertainment, said: "This new pattern is in the DNA of the soap genre - nobody else does 30 minute drama this successfully. "It creates a soap power hour that's consistent, and easy to find in the linear schedule, for the UK's biggest soaps. This new commissioning pattern will mean five hours of soaps a week, rather than the current six. We are conscious this will have an impact for the people who work on the soaps team. We will support our colleagues in ITV Studios as they work through these changes, and will do what we can to mitigate the impact on our people." Tuesday: Emmerdale 7.30pm Wednesday: No soaps Friday: Emmerdale 7.30pm, Coronation Street 8pm

Love Island chaos as six bombshells hit Casa Amor with raunchy challenge
After audiences got a glimpse of how the boys are feeling about being introduced to the new arrivals at Casa Amor, tonight it is the girls' turn to raise eyebrows in the original villa. There's set to be chaos on Love Island villa tonight as six sizzling new bombshells take the original villa by storm. Fans of the ITV dating show have been counting down the days until Casa Amor, and now it's finally here, they are sure to get all the drama they have been looking for as the Islanders start to have their heads turned. In scenes that aired this weekend, viewers saw the boys leave the main villa and head off to the infamous second Majorca mansion, where they were introduced to new arrivals. Meanwhile tonight viewers will get to tune in to see the girls at the original villa getting giggly with excitement as they gather around the firepit to size up the new lads. Boris, who is a model, wastes no time in making his intentions clear as he declares: "Shakira was not treated well from day one… and I have come here to repair that." Later on Yasmin and Toni whisk 26-year-old electric engineer Jamie away for a cosy chat by the firepit, and they both seem eager to get to know him. And it's not long before both villas find themselves going head-to-head in the show's infamous Raunchy Races challenge. A text arrives, announcing: "Islanders, phones at the ready as the Villa and Casa Amor are going head to head in tonight's challenge, Raunchy Races. The villa that gets the most points will win a party tonight. #MayTheBestVillaWin #TeamPixel." From there, things get seriously steamy as the Islanders are tasked with completing a series of cheeky dares while racing the other villa to get the most points. One text requests the boy with the most tattoos to snog the girl he thinks is relationship material. Over in Casa Amor, Meg is quick to question: "Who's got the most tattoos, D?" Sensing Meg's nerves, Shakira warns the boys: "Trust me, you don't want to see when D comes back off a date… Scary." And the drama doesn't stop there. Old flames Harry and Emma end up sharing a kiss when the eldest boy is asked to snog the eldest girl, causing even more tension. Elsewhere, things heat up between Dejon and Andrada, who share a flirty moment in the Snug. Dejon doesn't hold back as he tells her: "Out of all the bombshells that have come in, you're definitely my favourite… You've got it both, the looks, the personality." He continues buttering her up, adding: "And even though you get nervous and shy, you're still confident, you get like a cute, nervous and shy." All the while Meg is back in the original villa, wondering if her other half is being faithful to her or not. Viewers were previously left shocked when Tommy stopped being all eyes for Emily after entering Casa Amor, telling the newcomers some of them "definitely tickle my fancy". This happened after he had already sweet talked Emily into thinking their relationship was quite serious, telling her how excited he was for her to meet his family on the outside. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
