Thursday's episode of This Morning was interrupted for a 'breaking news' announcement. Presenters C at Deeley and Ben Shephard had to abruptly halt their duties when the broadcast unexpectedly switched to regular competition host Jeff Brazier. Jeff was eager to talk with a previous winner from one of This Morning's competitions, who swiftly became the focus of attention. Positioned at a desk adorned with Weekly Winners signage, Jeff suggested that Ben and Cat take a brief respite from their presenting roles while he temporarily took over the ITV show.
"I think you look a little bit thirsty. I'm going to send you off for a drink while we have some breaking news, everyone! " announced Jeff, catching Ben and Cat off guard. Jeff seamlessly stepped into his temporary role as he initiated contact with Craig from Tyne and Wear: "I'm taking over because - we've referenced him already in the winners' circle - Craig from Tyne and Wear, are you there?" reports Wales Online.
The conversation with Craig unfolded on live television, with Jeff uncovering how the lucky viewer had spent the £200,000 windfall he won on the show. Craig confided he had set aside funds for his daughters' future weddings, invested in a new work van, and even managed to get an extension done on his house. The interruption to the main show was brief, however, and Cat and Ben were soon back at the helm as they fronted the next segment of the daytime show.
The pair discussed fashion trends before moving on to take calls from the public regarding whether they let their pet dogs interfere in their romantic relationships. Also, on Thursday's instalment of This Morning, an interview with Kate Cassidy, girlfriend of late One Direction star Liam Payne, aired, as she spoke out about her partner's tragic death for the very first time. This Morning airs on weekdays on ITV1 from 10am.
