There is nothing worse than sleeping through your alarm and being late for work, which is exactly what Lorraine viewers thought had happened this morning!
Fans went into panic mode when they noticed the clock on the ITV show was an hour later than usual.
Despite the programme’s usual 8.30am start, the time was set at 9.30am on screen.
Viewers soon took to Twitter in droves to voice their confusion!

It seems it was all a bit too much for the public to digest over their morning Cornflakes, with dozens taking to Twitter to make sure the programme was aware of the mistake.
A third wrote: “Your clock is an hour fast!!! It’s freaking me out!”
While another declared: “The clock displaying the time an hour later. I can’t deal with this foolery this morning”.

The hilarious Twitter debate continued for some time throughout the morning and even Lorraine got involved!
The 58-year-old presenter appeared to jokingly reply to one fan’s post, tweeting: “(Sighs) you are watching ITV plus one Victoria”.

The mystery was then solved when the clock disappeared off screen as technicians rushed to rectify the mistake.
Phew… and all is right with the world again.
Lorraine returned to her daytime show this week after a half-term break that saw guest host Carol Vorderman take over the programme while Lorraine had time off.
