This Morning viewers were treated to a lighthearted moment when host Cat Deeley jokingly stormed off the ITV show’s set 

after being playfully called a “dirtbag” by celebrity chef Donal Skehan.

The funny exchange occurred during a cooking segment, where Donal was preparing his version of a banoffee pie.

The lighthearted banter started when Donal exposed Cat’s cheeky off-air habit of sneaking a taste of his dessert before the segment even began.

As the cameras rolled, Donal revealed to viewers that Cat had dipped a Biscoff biscuit straight into his banoffee pie mix and taken a bite.

With a teasing tone, he turned to her and said, “Are you going to tell everyone what you just did? She picked up a Biscoff and literally dipped it in and took a big bite. You are a dirtbag.”

The unexpected comment left Cat momentarily stunned before she decided to play along with the joke. Feigning outrage, she dramatically walked off set, waving and telling Donal and co-host Ben Shephard, “Bye, bye everybody.” Meanwhile, Ben and Donal burst into laughter as the show cut to a commercial break.

Fans React to the Playful Exchange

The amusing moment quickly became a talking point among fans, who took to social media to share their reactions. Many viewers found the exchange hilarious, praising the show’s fun and relaxed atmosphere.

“Cat Deeley storming off because she got called a dirtbag over a biscuit—TV gold!” one fan wrote. Another added, “This is why I love This Morning—so much fun and banter.”

Others praised Cat’s willingness to poke fun at herself. “She’s such a good sport! That’s what makes her such a great host,” one comment read.

This Morning Sparks Controversy with Nigel Farage Interview

While Cat’s playful walkout provided comic relief, This Morning recently found itself in hot water over a more serious segment. Earlier this month, the show faced backlash after featuring a surprise interview with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.

Farage, who had just returned from the United States following Donald Trump’s political rally, was interviewed by Cat and Ben on the show’s sofa. During the conversation, Farage reflected on his time at the event, recalling a moment when Trump danced on stage with the Village People.

“I will never forget the victory rally on the eve of Inauguration and there’s Trump, and Village People come on stage, and he’s dancing on stage with them,” he shared. He further stated, “You can like Trump, you can loathe him, but he’s won fair and square.”

The interview sparked outrage among viewers, many of whom took to social media to express their frustration. Some questioned why Farage was given airtime on the morning show. “Farage! FFS Why?? #ThisMorning,” one person tweeted.

Another posted, “Farage. WTF #ThisMorning.” A third viewer added, “Funny how I just saw a snake on TV for Chinese New Year, and then Farage appeared. Quite fitting. #ThisMorning.”

AI-Generated Gaza Video Stuns Good Morning Britain Viewers

Meanwhile, controversy wasn’t limited to This Morning, as ITV’s Good Morning Britain also found itself in an unusual situation. Hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid had to pause the show after an AI-generated video, reportedly shared by Donald Trump, left many viewers in shock.

The bizarre video featured golden statues of Trump alongside Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, set against the backdrop of a luxurious hotel resort.

A dramatic song played in the background with lyrics declaring, “Donald’s coming to set you free, bringing the light for all to see, no more tunnels, no more fear: Trump Gaza’s finally here.”

The surreal nature of the video left both the hosts and audience members stunned, with many questioning its authenticity and purpose. Social media quickly exploded with reactions, with some users labeling it “one of the strangest political clips ever.”
