GMB's Ranvir Singh buries head in hands as co-star makes announcement live on air
Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh was left baffled after her co-star Richard Arnold made an announcement on the ITV show
Good Morning Britain returned to television screens on Thursday (7 August) with Ranvir Singh and Ed Balls delivering ITV viewers all the day's top stories and breaking news.
The presenting pair covered segments across numerous subjects, ranging from botched cosmetic surgery to fresh developments regarding interest rates and tax increases.
Ranvir and Ed were accompanied by Richard Arnold, GMB's entertainment correspondent, for a feature showcasing the latest celebrity and television updates, though one of Richard's reports left Ranvir visibly uncomfortable.
Richard began discussing Christmas as he disclosed that companies are starting to consider their seasonal marketing campaigns, despite the festivities being several months distant. He enquired: "Is it too early for some festive joy? Why not?!"
"Please, no! Please!" Ranvir replied whilst burying her face in her hands, reports the Mirror.

"I know, it's too early for me, too," Richard acknowledged. "Mariah, back in the box. We need to frock up for Halloween first!"
The GMB presenter continued by disclosing that actress Aimee Lou Wood, known for Sex Education and The White Lotus, has secured herself a commercial contract for the holiday period, according to fresh reports.
"But the battle has begun for the Christmas ad already. It's only 28 weeks away! But one brand has reportedly recruited Aimee Lou Wood already, to not just be the star of any ad, she'll be the star of an M&S ad," he enthusiastically informed Ranvir and Ed.
Richard wrapped up: "The White Lotus actress will be picking up from Dawn French and her fairy alter-ego, and filming will start later this month."
Still reeling from the Christmas reference, Ranvir declared: "Well, good for her!" whilst Richard chimed in: "Yes, exactly. Cha-ching!"

During Thursday's Good Morning Britain programme, Ed and Ranvir spoke with former Love Island star Faye Winter, who rose to prominence on the winter series in 2021, regarding her "terrifying" botched cosmetic treatments amid government considerations for fresh legislation concerning aesthetic practitioners.
The presenting pair also welcomed film producer Yavar Abbas. The 105-year-old reflected on his lengthy life and professional journey, touching upon his trio of marriages and remarkable age.
This Morning regular Josie Gibson subsequently appeared alongside Ranvir and Ed on the GMB set, where she spoke about her latest ITV programme that chronicles her transformation of her Somerset property into an environmentally-conscious sanctuary with assistance from loved ones.

Myleene Klass warns she 'has receipts' as she breaks silence on ex-husband's affair with fellow celeb
Myleene Klass has broken her silence on social media after revealing the moment she caught her ex-husband cheating on her in her own home with another female celebrity. Myleene Klass has warned she "has the receipts" as she thanked fans for their support after opening up about being cheated on by her ex-husband. The former Hear'Say singer, 47, told fans she had "found my voice and it's clear, unapologetic and brutally honest" after recalling the unforgettable moment when she caught her ex-husband Graham Quinn cheating on her with another celebrity during her own birthday party. On the We Need To Talk podcast, the Loose Women star retold the shocking incident that took place at her own home before their nuptials. Myleene revealed: "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony. I'm in my house, it's my party. They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other". In response to the horrifying betrayal, Myleene explained: "I kicked everybody out of the party – including his mum and dad." The identity of the celebrity was not disclosed but Myleene hinted that this woman was known for cultivating "a family brand." Fans have been begging Myleene to expose who the unknown celeb was as the mum-of-three has spoken out about the reaction to her revelations, the Mirror reports. Writing on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Myleene said: "Wow. What a week it's been! Firstly, thank you. I have quite literally tens of thousands of messages of love and support for me and my family. "I took a long time to learn there's strength in vulnerability. In a varied week where my interview with @paulcbrunson and @needtotalk went viral and reached the people who needed to hear it, where I was part of the incredible @stjohn_ambulance team who helped to save a persons life and where my children and I somehow managed to rescue our passports from the bottom of the Adriatic, it's been a mixed bag!" She continued: "All this to say, at 47, I've finally found my voice and it's clear, unapologetic and brutally honest. "To those that fear its truth, you probably have reason to, I have receipts, to those that need to hear it, I've got you and I fully intend to continue using it to change the laws and legislation that neglect women and children in this country and around the world." Myleene concluded with the bible quote "And the truth will set you free' John 8.32,' before adding her own words: 'And then some." After the incident with the unnamed female celebrity took place, Myleene said that her ex-husband pleaded for her forgiveness and blamed his actions on alcohol. Speaking to Paul on his podcast, Myleene said she has come to terms with the past ordeal, despite it turning her life "upside down". Myleene and Graham, who was once her bodyguard, began their relationship during her time with Hear'Say and were together for six years before welcoming their daughter Ava in 2007. They welcomed their second daughter, Hero Harper, in 2011, which was the same year they got married. However, Graham exited their marriage just six months in, leading to their divorce in 2013. Myleene opened up about her gut-wrenching feeling before her doomed wedding, confessing that "something didn't feel right". Recalling the night before the ceremony, she said: "I was in the bath and I was just sobbing." She also described the nuptials as catastrophic, saying: "My best mate wasn't even at my wedding. It was miserable... I literally cried the entire reception." She added: "We had to haggle our way through with the restaurant, could we have some burgers and put the tables together? There was no planning – I wasn't allowed to plan a wedding." The unravelling of her marriage to Graham came as her suspicions of infidelity resurfaced. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

She also revealed that Graham's refusal to sign a prenup led to a financial turmoil that took a toll on her mental health: "I couldn't breathe. Finances were spiralling. I thought, 'I'm going to lose everything,'". After such a traumatic experience with marriage, Myleene swore she wouldn't go through it again but she later found love with PR expert Simon Motson, whom she met on a blind date in 2015. The couple now share their five-year-old son Apollo together.

Secret trick that game show bosses use to stop stars winning huge prizes
Richard Osman has claimed that game show bosses have a clever way to ensure that contestants don't walk away with huge cash prizes at the end of filming A game show host has revealed how bosses stop contestants from winning huge cash prizes. Pointless and House of Games star Richard Osman has hinted that certain questions are given to those taking part in the programme in a bid to keep cash prizes to a minimum. Most game shows have a huge cash prize, with some being five figures; however, it is very rare for somebody to walk away with the maximum offer, and instead, they take home a fraction of what could be won. Now, BBC star Richard, 54, has commented about the formats used on various programmes, which help keep the budgets down. "The questions wouldn't be weighted particularly in that way," he said. He went on to add: "But lots of formats have ways of ensuring there isn't a payout." It comes after Richard Osman reveals axed Ant and Dec show was 'expensive car crash'. Speaking on Marina Hyde's The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, he went on to add: "So, you'll do like a final round where you could win or you couldn't win the jackpot." He later went on to explain that the cash prize at the end of each round depends on an algorithm for players. Richard said: "You always have an algorithm. Daytime budgets are very small, but in your budget will be a line item for prize money. So, when we used to make Deal or No Deal, for example ― and it's a good example, because it's all about money ― you've got that £250,000 box all the way down to the 1p box." He said that Pointless is able to offer £16,500 per day, meaning that if one team walks out with the top prize fund, others will suffer in the following games. Pointless has aired on the BBC since 2009, and has aired 1779 episodes across 33 seasons, hosted by Richard and pal Alexander Armstrong, 55. Elsewhere, Richard has appeared on dozens of shows over the years, including Have I Got News For You, Child Genius, Insert Name here, The Nightly Show, The One Show and The Thursday Murder Club. He's also appeared on the likes of Celebrity Juice, 8 out of 10 Cats, QI, Room 101 and Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. But aside from appearing on screens, Richard has also worked as a producer on dozens of big-household shows, such as Pointless, 8 out of 10 Cats, Have You Been Watching, Only Connect, Total Wipeout, Prize Island, and 10 O'Clock Live. Richard also recently claimed that Destination X had "missed the mark". The show, which started last week, sees 13 strangers hoping to win £100,000 by guessing where in the world they had been left. Each week, the cast heads to a different location and must use a string of clues to guess their location. However, unlike a number of other shows, the audience are left in the lurch too and are encouraged to play along at home. But Richard says the show has 'missed the mark' with that detail, as he said the show was trying to embody both The Traitors and Race Across The World – with little success. He said: "Everyone wants it to be something it isn't. That idea that you're in a blacked out coach and you have to work out where you are, it's kind of neat." Comparing it to Claudia Winkleman 's hit show The Traitors, and Race Across The World, Richard continued: "It's not like The Traitors where they tell you who the Traitors are. "You don't know where you are, so you're trying to look for clues. It's got a bit of 'Oh, you've got alliances' like the Traitors. And it's got incredible scenery like Race Across The World." Richard then explained: "That if you're the BBC, you're saying that the show you would like is something that has the tension of the Traitors and the beauty of Race Across The World." However, Richard thinks this may not have worked. "TwoFour, when they have to actually make the thing, they're like... 'Well, the alliance thing doesn't really work, we have to slightly make that work in the format.' With The Traitors, it's all you've got, and then this, you have to force it." He also claimed the scenery of the show "doesn't really work," as due to the fact viewers are playing along at home, a lot of the location can't be shown. Concluding, Richard claimed that although the show was trying to have "the beauty of Race Across The World" and the "tension of The Traitors," it's essentially missed the mark on both.

Richard Osman on why BBC's Destination X has 'missed the mark' as viewers complain
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The BBC's new show Destination X has viewers glued to their screens, yet Richard Osman feels it hasn't quite hit the spot, claiming the programme has "missed the mark". Launched last week, the series throws 13 strangers into the unknown, challenging them to win £100,000 by figuring out their whereabouts in the world. Rob Brydon leads the intrepid group through various locales each episode, with clues provided to help them pinpoint their location. But unlike other shows, Destination X keeps its audience guessing too, inviting them to join in from home. However, Richard believes the show has 'missed the mark' by trying to blend elements of The Traitors and Race Across The World without much triumph. This critique follows news that Gary Lineker 'signs a massive deal with ITV for a new presenting role' after his departure from the BBC. In the latest episode, some viewers expressed frustration over the contestants' apparent lack of geographical knowledge as they struggled to determine their location, reports the Mirror. Discussing Destination X on the Sky podcast, The Rest Is Entertainment, alongside Marina Hyde, the ex-The One Show presenter remarked: "Everyone wants it to be something it isn't. That idea that you're in a blacked out coach and you have to work out where you are, it's kind of neat." He drew parallels with Claudia Winkleman's popular The Traitors and the adventurous Race Across The World, noting: "It's not like The Traitors where they tell you who the Traitors are. "You don't know where you are so you're trying to look for clues. It's got a bit of 'Oh you've got alliances' like the Traitors. And it's got incredible scenery like Race Across The World." Richard went on to elaborate: "That if you're the BBC, you're saying that the show you would like is something that has the tension of the Traitors and and the beauty of Race Across The World," though Richard believes this approach may have fallen short. "TwoFour, when they have to actually make the thing they're like... 'Well the alliance thing doesn't really work, we have to slightly make that work in the format.' With The Traitors, it's all you've got, and then this, you have to force it." Richard also suggested the programme's backdrop "doesn't really work," explaining that because audiences are participating from home, much of the setting cannot be revealed. Wrapping up his critique, Richard argued that whilst the programme attempted to combine "the beauty of Race Across The World" with the "tension of The Traitors," it had fundamentally fallen short on both fronts. Richard's views struck a chord with many viewers, who flocked to the comments section to voice their agreement. One viewer observed: "Problem is there's no appreciation for social strategy type games in the UK. It's why we're stuck with shows with public votes, whilst these types of shows thrive in America,". Another disappointed fan shared: "I just wanted it to be people driven to a mystery place, let out and use their wits on challenges to do with local customs to guess where they were standing!" Meanwhile, some viewers of the show are taking to social media to express their exasperation. One viewer aired their grievances on Twitter, stating: "Getting annoyed with #DestinationX - the lack of knowledge is appalling!". Another viewer expressed their dismay by tweeting: "I assume it's deliberate in this show that they picked contestants who know absolutely nothing about European languages or Geography, but it's still very frustrating to watch." And a third viewer humorously remarked: "We have some exceptionally clever people in this country. We win bucketloads of Nobel prizes, we invented nearly everything worthwhile, we have an elite of world class minds but most of our citizens are thick as pig s***."
