Kate Garraway was observed attempting to re-enter the Good Morning Britain studio unnoticed on Thursday morning, having been absent for a bathroom break. Her co-host, Adil Ray, had continued the broadcast with guests Amy Dowden and Carlos Gu during her absence.
As the programme returned from an advertisement interval, cameras showed dancers Dowden and Gu seated opposite Ray. Garraway was not present at this point. Ray proceeded to question the Strictly Come Dancing professionals about their participation in the reality show Celebrity Hunted, which supports Stand Up To Cancer.

An Airbus A320 flying from Dusseldorf experienced stall warnings and flew in 'alternate law' mode.
Ray spoke with Dowden and Gu for approximately one minute. During their discussion about the show's premise, Dowden greeted Garraway, who was then seen trying to rejoin the sofa. Garraway acknowledged her tardiness, stating, "I took a little bit too long in the shower and the loo." Ray responded with a light-hearted comment regarding the day's headlines about a drought and the importance of short showers.
Garraway offered an apology for the delay, visibly amused by the situation. Good Morning Britain, which airs live daily, has experienced other on-air incidents involving presenters and guests.
