Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway was forced to apologise to guest Sawsan Choucair after she asked a 'bad question' about the Grenfell fire
GMB: Kate Garraway apologises to guest for question
Kate Garraway swiftly offered an apology on Good Morning Britain after a conversation with guest Sawsan Choucair took a sensitive turn.
During the broadcast, Kate and her co-host Ed Balls engaged in a poignant discussion with Sawsan, who endured the heartbreaking loss of six family members in the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy.
With the release of the Grenfell Fire inquiry's findings this week, it was revealed that the 72 lives lost could have been spared.
In the midst of their talk, the GMB presenter asked Sawsan: "What would justice mean to you?"
Sawsan responded: "It would be great, it would be such great news."

However, Kate promptly realised the need to rephrase her question and interjected, reports the Mirror.
She corrected herself as she added: "Sorry, that was a very bad question. How do you define justice? What do you want?"
Sawsan expressed to the ITV anchor that those grieving for the victims are calling for prosecutions.
She stated: "That's number one, our main point is prosecutions, until now. It's took them so long, they haven't even done it.
"It's just inquiries so it's let them go through all this time. Seven years on, where are the prosecutions?"
The audience of Good Morning Britain was informed about the tragic loss Sawsan faced as her mother, sister, brother-in-law, and three nieces perished in the fire.
When questioned about her feelings as the statement from the inquiry was read out in parliament, Sawsan said: "Devastated because it's been a long time waiting for justice. We haven't got justice.
"Now, they've come out with this report because of the inquiry, it's taken them so long and nothing is going to bring our family back no matter what."
Kate applauded her bravery for coming onto the show to speak about her family.
The ITV star asked: "Could it bring any comfort to think maybe at last the devastation of this is finally recognised? Have you felt that you've been, in a sense, shouting into the wind the last seven years?"
Sawsan agreed as she replied: "We've been shouting for so long and we've been fighting all of us to get justice and until now, we haven't.
"Each one puts the blame on each other, no one is telling the truth. What happens after that, are we ever going to get there? Is there ever going to be justice for us?"
Good Morning Britain continues weekdays on ITV from 6am.
