Good Morning Britain’s Richard Arnold couldn’t stop giggling at the top of Friday’s show after the producers showed a clip of a newsreader slipping over.

Balvinder Sidhu, who fronts the regional news segments in the Midlands, comically fell over on Thursday moments before a broadcast after slipping on her shoe.

While the clip never made it to air on Thursday, ITV bosses decided to show the clip on Friday – much to the amusement of Arnold, who almost had tears in his eyes.

Hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway were also struck by fits of giggles as they watched the clip a second time.

But Arnold could be heard off camera absolutely hysterical, managing to squeak out “we’ve all been there”.

Following the broadcast, Sidhu thanked her producer Pablo for rescuing her after her embarrassing moment in a video “statement” on Twitter.

Pablo revealed that he thought Sidhu was “seriously injured” when she went down, wondering if she had broken her ankle, but was reassured by her laughter.

Sidhu admitted that the moment was “absolutely hilarious” and was “glad everyone was finding it funny”.

The journalist even shared the moment herself, writing: “Oh dear famous for falling - my work is done people @ITVCentral.

“Thankfully I can see the funny side & am so happy to be making so many people laugh this morning - certainly a Friday feeling @GMB.”

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
