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.
