Kate Garraway was involved in an awkward Good Morning Britain blunder after calling one of the show鈥檚 reporter the wrong name.
On Friday鈥檚 episode of the ITV daytime series (27 June), Garraway, who was hosting the show alongside Robert Rinder, was speaking to Gargy Patel for a segment about Keir Starmer broadcast live from Westminster.
When the segment came to an end, Garraway accidentally referred to Patel as Ranvir Singh, who is one of the show鈥檚 rotating list of presenters.
鈥淩anvir, thank you very much indeed,鈥 she said in a moment that was immediately picked up by viewers watching at home, one of which branded it 鈥渞ude鈥.
Patel herself seemingly responded to the error, with her eyes widening in apparent surprise as the camera cut back to the studio.
The Independent has contacted ITV for comment.
Patel has been a reporter on GMB since 2016, two years after both Garraway and Singh made their debut.
Garraway鈥檚 error arrives after she opened up about her life after the death of her husband Derek Draper.
The broadcaster became a carer for Draper after he grew seriously ill from Covid and suffered major health complications for years after.
Writing in The Sun, Garraway described caring for Draper as 鈥渙ne of the greatest honours鈥 of her life and admitted she wishes she was 鈥渟till doing it today鈥 despite the pressures it placed on her.
鈥淏eing a carer, its joys and its responsibilities, stays with you even after you have lost the person,鈥 she explained.
She said that she 鈥渟till wakes up in the middle of the night panicking that I haven鈥檛 given him his medicine, or that I have forgotten to move him every hour to prevent the painful contractions in his limbs鈥.
鈥淭he next second I realise he no longer needs that care. There is a moment of relief 鈥 that I did not let him down 鈥 before a tsunami of sadness hits.鈥
After spending nearly 100 days in a coma in 2020, Draper remained in need of constant care for the rest of his life, from professionals and from Garraway.
However, Draper was not eligible for funding, prompting the broadcaster to use her own money to ensure her husband had the help he needed.
