George Ezra squirms on This Morning after awkward Emma Willis probe: 'He looks terrible'
GEORGE EZRA was left squirming during his interview on This Morning as he was quizzed by Emma Willis and Rylan Clark-Neal about his involvement with the John Lewis Christmas advert.
This Morning: Emma Willis says George Ezra looks 'terrible'
The duo, who are presenting This Morning in the absence of Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, tried to find out if the singer had been approached to feature on the retailer’s festive offering this year.
Rylan asked: “John Lewis, Christmas advert this year. Are you doing it? Don’t lie to me George Ezra, I’m a fan.”
Trying to divert the topic of conversation, George replied: “I can’t believe we’re talking about Christmas.”
“Well, it’s April and that’s what we do in Britain,” Rylan hit back.
Emma chipped in: “It has to be you.
“We were talking earlier if you could have anyone’s voice, it would be yours and you make sense.”
“I do love Christmas,” George laughed.
Rylan persisted: “Do you like John Lewis? How did the audition go?”
“Love John Lewis,” George commented before revealing: “I don’t know if I should say this but I did audition for last year’s but I didn’t get in.”
Clearly outraged that George had been snubbed, Rylan exclaimed: “John Lewis what are you doing? Look at the poor boy, he’s on tour and he said he’ll fit your advert in.”
Emma added: “Look at him, he looks terrible, he needs a bit of help.”
“He needs a bit of work,” Rylan laughed.
George could be seen looking off camera as the presenters joked about his need for more work.
It came after the star revealed he booked a room at a stranger’s house in Barcelona to help him write his latest album.
“I was in a very fortunate position where I could go for a month, and that’s a very beautiful thing,” George explained.
“But instead of getting a hotel or an apartment, I found this stranger on the internet who was renting their spare room out.
“My host was Tamara and I stayed there a month. I thought worse case scenario, she’s a bit unhinged and I have to book out...best case scenario she can recommend the best places to eat.”
George added that Tamara had no idea who he was until halfway through his stay.
She couldn’t believe that the chart-topper had chosen to stay in his home.
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10.30am.
