Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway were left giggling on Friday’s Good Morning Britain when a newsreader went flying off the screen after slipping.
The presenters showed viewers a clip of Midlands reporter Balvinder Sidhu getting ready in the studio moments before going on air.
In the footage, Balvinder was seen stepping into position in front of the camera before losing her shoe, making her slip and disappear out of shot.
We’re so sorry @BalvinderITV – but this is hilarious! 😂 @benshephard | @RichardAArnold | @kategarraway | @CharlotteHawkns | #GMB pic.twitter.com/8QSsx6dyzm

As she fell to the floor, one of the show’s producers, Pablo, ran over to help Balvinder back up.
Kate, Ben and showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold were left in hysterics as they played the clip multiple times.
Ben told viewers: “She is one of our regional and ITV broadcasters and does the opt-out in the Midlands.”
As the footage played, Ben added: “This is her getting ready to go on air… her shoe fell off apparently… it’s like she slipped on a banana skin. [Can we watch it] one last time for Balvinder!”
Kate asked: “Why did you fall Balvinder?” to which Ben replied: “Her shoe fell off!”
Reassuring viewers Balvinder is OK, Ben said: “She’s absolutely fine. She was rescued by a producer. We’ve all been there.”
Balvinder later took to Twitter to ensure viewers she was “absolutely fine” following the incident.
She said: “So a lot of you have been wondering if I’m OK. I am absolutely fine after that tumble I took yesterday.
“I must admit, I found it absolutely hilarious, so I’m glad I’m bringing a smile to all your faces this morning. Happy Friday, folks!”

She also sent in a message into the show, telling Kate and Ben: “Good morning Ben and Kate, I can’t believe I’ve just seen myself on television rehearsing in the studio and saw that fall again!
“Thanks for laughing at my expense! I just want to let the nation know, I’m fine, apart from a bruised ego. All is well.”
She added: “Look, I’m wearing trainers in the studio today!”
