During Thursday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, host Kate Garraway was playfully urged to ‘move on’ when the conversation took a turn.
Kate, 57, and her co-host Ed Balls had been covering the day’s headlines, including a story about tall men being targeted by an aggressive hawk in a village in Hertfordshire.
Fellow presenter Ranvir Singh didn’t hold back her views, offering thoughts on the breed of the hawk and the possible motives behind its attacks on passerbyers.
This prompted Kate to jest: “She’s all over this!” with Ed responding: “All these theories going around this morning!”
As they delved further into the plight of the locals faced with the hawk menace, Kate confessed: “The producers are saying to ‘move on’ but I’d be quite happy to talk about this all morning, I’m fascinated here!”
To which Ed quipped in return: “Or… if we wait long enough, the hawk will appear!”
It comes as the hawk has caused chaos in a Hertfordshire village as it targets unsuspecting tall men, attacking their heads. It is believed that the bird is responsible for around 20 attacks in Flamstead.
Elsewhere, Kate will soon be swapping ITV for Channel 4 as she’s entering The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Ahead of her appearance on the show, Kate shared her apprehensions: “I’ve never really done it. I love cooking and always seem to know how to combine ingredients to make something delicious but that’s different because you can taste it as you go. Baking is a different ball game entirely.
“You take egg and flour and butter, that taste and look like one thing on their own, then put them together and they create something completely different. Baking is alchemy.
“So, I don’t think I’ve come out proving myself a Merlin, but I’m hoping not to be the Wicked Witch of the West.”
Talking about her favourite bakes, she added: “You can’t go wrong with a Victoria Sponge with a fresh cream middle, I love cake. But I also love savoury bakes – sausage rolls and so on. It’s all delicious.”
The celebs are all taking part in support of Stand Up To Cancer, a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK
and Channel 4.
Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will be providing encouragement as the stars take on a signature bake, a technical bake and a showstopper.
Meanwhile, judge Paul Hollywood is back, while Prue Leith’s long-standing friend and former colleague Caroline Waldegrave is standing in for Prue.
Good Morning Britain continues on weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV X.
