Richard, 47, asked Jean-Bernard: “Do you have a message for Cheryl about her baby?”
Jean-Bernard, who stayed silent for a few seconds, replied: “You know what, it’s the 70th film festival so we might as well focus on that.
“I just want to make it the best possible as it’s my first venture here and I just want to make this count and make this big.”
Awks.
And even viewers were cringing at the question.
One wrote: “Well the interview between Richard Arnold and Jean Bernard wasn’t awkward at all. #GMB.”
“Versini totally swerved the question on Cheryl and baby Bear the Payne #GMB,” another said.
A third tweeted: “#GMB Bit inappropes for Richard Arnold to ask Jean-Bernard if he had a message for “Cheryl and her new baby”?! #awks.”
“#gmb #jeanbernardfernandezversini Would it have been beyond him to wish @CherylOfficial all the best? Sour grapes. #Jealousex #awkward,” a fourth added.
