Good Morning Britain star reveals he’s been DUMPED live on show

Richard Arnold no longer has a date for Valentine's Day

Good Morning Britain star Richard Arnold has confessed he has been DUMPED just days before Valentine’s Day while speaking live on air.

Co-stars Susanna Reid and Ben Shepard were left shocked when their fellow host announced he had been given the elbow recently.

The TV presenter was discussing the comeback of the TV classic Blind Date, which was hosted by the late Cilla Black.

He then went on to reveal that he would no longer have a Valentine this year after being dumped just days ago.

He said that he had big plans for the day only to be sacked off just a week before.

The GMB star went on to joke about starting online dating before having a flirt with Susanna.

He said: “I’ve just been dumped for Valentine’s Day… what are you doing on Tuesday?”

Susanna, not sure how to react, stumbled on her words, before Ben joked: “She’s leaving the country don’t worry about that!”

The 47-year-old said: “Seriously. I find out last night I was like but I’ve planned everything!

“I’ll get on the internet.”

With the co-stars joking about the matter, Ben said: “Something tells me you’ll be swiping left and right and you’ll be happy.”

Richard laughed off the comment, saying: “Brilliant, let me know when you’re on there.”

The conversation was quickly changed by a slightly awkward Susanna to the next topic they were discussing today.

Richard isn’t the only one to get a little too comfortable on the sofa.

Last week, a gorilla certainly made himself at home in the GMB studio after giving host Kate Garraway a scare.

Viewers were left in hysterics over the gorilla’s appearance, and some even said it should replace fellow co-star Piers Morgan!

One said: “They have a gorilla live on gmb, Piers Morgan has competition now.”

Another added: ” Just watching @GMB and have found @susannareid100 a replacement for @piersmorgan …. the gorilla! Talks less and more handsome.” followed by a laughing emoji.

How cheeky…
