ITV Good Morning Britain star's 'really worried' reaction to on air development
Good Morning Britain hosts Adil Ray and Kate Garraway were left alarmed following a breaking news bulletin.
Tuesday's (August 19) show revealed that findings from a two-and-a-half year study into water quality at Lake Windermere, dubbed "one of the country's most picturesque spots", had been released.
The findings demonstrated "really concerning pollution in England's largest and most famous lake", it was reported, with correspondent Juliet Dunlop broadcasting live from the location.
"Some breaking news to bring you in the past few moments," presenter Sean Fletcher announced from the studio. "The results of a two-and-a-half year examination of water quality at one of the country's most picturesque spots have been revealed.
"Testing of Windermere has revealed really concerning pollution in England's largest and most famous lake," reports the Mirror.
Juliet elaborated: "This is an extensive survey that involved hundreds of volunteers who collected more than a thousand samples of water from right across Lake Windermere, some parts that had never been tested before.
"They found levels of harmful bacteria including E.coli that fail water quality standards. They are particularly concerned about the pollution levels during summer months when Windermere is at its busiest and hot spots right along the shoreline.
"Campaigners say decisive action is needed if Windermere is to improve and be protected for future generations."
As the camera panned back to the studio, Sean responded: "That's really concerning in such a picturesque and beautiful, and really used, space. It really is," Adil concurred, while Kate chimed in: "It's so popular."
Adil continued: "You can almost bear with how pollution might enter our rivers, but the lakes? They're not usually inhabited places, not a lot of people there necessarily."
Expressing his lack of surprise at the news, he added: "That's really worrying. It's those treasures we're destroying before our eyes," Kate lamented.
This follows Adil's return to Good Morning Britain which sparked mixed reactions among fans. One viewer commented on Monday (August 18): "I'll pass on that thanks," with another adding: "Nobody will get a word in with these two presenters. Switches over."
A third echoed: "No thanks," while another similarly shared: "Worst pairing ever. You can do better than this."
On the other hand, some viewers expressed their pleasure at Adil's appearance, with one person writing: "Yes! Love Adil! But to be honest all the @GMB presenters are really good."
Another added: "I like this pairing on GMB. At heart, both exceptional interviewers," while a third said: "What a great pair today."

Prince Philip's 'four brutal words' to Queen at Harry and Meghan's wedding
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 Prince Philip didn't mince his words following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials, a fresh publication has claimed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot in a lavish affair at Windsor Castle in May 2018, witnessed by the entire Royal Family, including the late monarch and her consort. The service at St George's Chapel featured all the traditional elements of a Royal ceremony, enhanced by a gospel choir's rendition of Stand By Me and Bishop Michael Curry's lengthy 14-minute address. Following the conclusion of the service, the newly-married couple embarked on a carriage procession through Windsor whilst the remaining royals departed the chapel to make their way to the castle for an official reception. Former Royal butler Grant Harrold claims that as they exited the church, Harry's grandfather Philip remarked to the Queen: "Thank f*** that's over", reports the Mirror. His assertion appears in his forthcoming publication, due for release later this month. Harrold served King Charles at his Highgrove residence for seven years spanning 2004 to 2011. During the wedding day, Harrold had been offering commentary for a television network before meeting up with his partner, Jack Stooks, who had received an invitation to observe the Royal party's departure from the chapel and brought the former Royal employee as his companion. The Telegraph reports that in his upcoming memoir, titled The Royal Butler: My remarkable life of Royal Service, he documents: "Once all the formalities were over, we watched as the happy couple, and then the other members of the Royal family, filed out of the chapel. "When Prince Philip came out, he turned to the Queen and said, 'Thank f*** that's over.'". In the lead-up to Harry and Meghan's nuptials, the former Duke of Edinburgh underwent a hip replacement operation. It was reported at the time that he was adamant about not missing their special day and set himself the goal of being mobile by then. Meanwhile, during his tenure at Highgrove, Harrold became acquainted with both Princes William and Harry, who were in their late teens and early 20s.

He recounts that they even shared a takeaway before the Duke of Sussex departed for Sandhurst Military Academy. Harrold's stint at Highgrove also overlapped with the period when Charles and Camilla announced their engagement and subsequently tied the knot. In his explosive memoir Spare, Harry revealed how he and his now estranged brother William pleaded with their father not to wed his current wife. He wrote: "We support you, we said. We endorse Camilla, we said. 'Just please don't marry her. Just be together, Pa.' He didn't answer. But she answered. Straight what he witnessed was a stark contrast to what Harry penned in his memoir. He told The Telegraph: "The four of them, I promise you, got on so well. And that's why I don't understand what Harry's said, I really don't understand. "We support you, we said. We endorse Camilla, we said. 'Just please don't marry her. Just be together, Pa.' He didn't answer. But she answered. Straight he says what he saw was a far cry from what Harry wrote in his memoir. He told The Telegraph: "Because I saw them. I saw them having dinners together, I saw them having drinks together, I saw them going to parties together. "He also remembers witnessing "no animosity" amongst the royals, adding: "The King used to do things to make them [William and Harry] laugh and giggle."

Sir Bruce Forsyth's widow's tear-jerking gesture on his anniversary revealed
EXCLUSIVE: Sir Bruce Forsyth's widow, Lady Wilnelia, has shared a moving tribute to the late Strictly Come Dancing icon on the anniversary of his death The widow of Sir Bruce Forsyth marked the 8th anniversary of his death this week by laying flowers at his favourite golf course. Lady Wilnelia Forsyth posted on Instagram about her day and received dozens of heartfelt responses. She told how TV legend Bruce's 'spirit, his laughter, and his kindness remain alive in our hearts.' Speaking on Instagram on Monday, 67-year-old Wilnelia wrote: 'Today marks 8 years since Bruce left us. I will be spending the day with my family and laying his favourite flowers at the golf course, a place he loved so much. 'Though he is no longer with us, his spirit, his laughter, and his kindness remain alive in our hearts. We remember him not with sorrow, but with gratitude for the wonderful life and love we shared. Bruce, you are forever missed, forever loved, and forever part of us.' It comes after Wilnelia opened up about the possibility of finding love eight years after Sir Bruce's death. Writing underneath the post, Bruce's daughter Julie wrote: 'Miss him every day. Beautifully said Winnie. He'll always be a part of us.' Others also posted messages of how they missed Sir Bruce and had fond memories of him on screen. Wilnelia may well have been referring to the Wentworth Golf Club in Surrey. She and Bruce had a home situated directly adjacent to the golf course, specifically on the Wentworth Estate, and Bruce used to regularly play a round there with pals. Paying tribute to Sir Bruce on Loose Women last year, Wilnelia said: 'It's remarkable the impact he did have for so, so many years in the 'Biz' that he called show. He loved it so much. It was his life. It became all of your lives. Lady Wilnelia recently opened up to the Mirror about her life. Asked about the prospect of falling in love again, the 67-year-old nodded enthusiastically as she told the Mirror, ''I've no idea what is in the future for me. But I am really happy.' Sir Bruce died in August 2017 at the age of 89 due to bronchial pneumonia. But before his death, he promised his wife that he would always be around. Now, the sight of a rainbow makes Wilnelia smile. Speaking previously, she said: "I remember saying to him, 'But Bruce, how will I know what to do when you're not here? I can't even work the TV remote without you!' He turned to me and said, 'Just look for the rainbow, my darling'. 'Now his children send me pictures of rainbows from wherever they are and it's really just this wonderful feeling.' Bruce and Wilnelia married in 1983, just three years after they met in London as judges during the Miss World contest. Eight years after his death, Wilnelia still talks to her late husband. "But I still talk to Bruce in my head, often at night. He was always so loving and such a gentleman. Even until the end he was keeping his sense of humour," she previously said. Sir Bruce's ashes were buried under the stage at the iconic London Palladium, the place where his career first took off. His show business career began when he was aged just 14. He became Britain's best-paid TV star, famous for hosting game shows like The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and The Price is Right. Sir Bruce was also the original Strictly host alongside Tess Daly from 2004 to 2014. and had 75 years in show business. At the time of his death, Tess Daly said she was heartbroken. In her tribute, she said: "From the moment we met, Bruce and I did nothing but laugh our way through a decade of working together on Strictly Come Dancing and I will never forget his generosity, his brilliant sense of humour and his drive to entertain the audiences he so loved.'
