Kate Garraway hilariously mistaken for being DRUNK whilst Christmas shopping
KATE GARRAWAY was brilliantly mistaken for being drunk when she was out shopping for last-minute Christmas goodies.
GMB's Kate Garraway knocks water all over set
Writing on Twitter, the amiable presenter jokily blamed Good Morning Britain co-host Ben Shephard for the mix-up - after Ranvir Singh sniffed his glass on-air to make sure he wasn't on the hard stuff.
Viewers too had suggested that Kate had been partying the night before after she spilled a glass of water.
And it seems that when she went to a major High Street food store, an accident led staff to ask an embarrassing question.
She tweeted: "Just in @marksandspencer tripped & smashed 7 jars of balsamic - staff so nice but said "are u still drunk from this a.m?" Tks @benshephard!"
Kate Garraway had a brilliant mishap whilst shopping
The broadcaster was amusingly accused of being drunk on-air hours earlier
Hold on - it wasn't me that drank all the sherry!!!
"Hold on - it wasn't me that drank all the sherry!!!" he replied.
Earlier in the day he had been instrumental in suggesting Kate had had a tipple prior to going on-air.
A fan asked him: "Has Kate been on the Sherry this morning? Spelling drinks, fluffing lines.. Party time!"
He wrote back: "Sherry Gin Brandy and the rest Paul!!"
It had been an all-out chaotic episode, after Ben had an awkward moment which saw him getting escorted out of the studio.
Ben Shephard was 'evacuated' on the programme
A member of the production crew was seen taking him out of the room after he gave a special signal to them.
“After nearly 20 years of working together and you’ve finally got a signal!” exclaimed Kate.
Ben made his departure after his co-stars were chatting about putting on weight over the festive period.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am.
