GMB presenter suffers awkward gaffe as he encounters NAKED guest on air

Poor Darren was still in bed

You never know what could happen on live telly, and things got seriously awkward on Monday morning’s Good Morning Britain, when presenter Andi Peters encountered a NAKED guest.

The correspondent was out in Newcastle trying to surprise a £5,000 prize winner – but he couldn’t get him to open the door.

Andi, 48, tried shouting through the letterbox, but had no luck, and eventually had to ring him up. When the winner, ‘Darren’, finally answered, the TV veteran said: “Hello, is that Darren? Are you at home this morning?”

The half-asleep man explained why he wasn’t answering the door, saying: “Yes, I’m just putting my clothes on.”

Andi told him: “You’re live on ITV. Put your clothes on as fast as possible. It’s Andi Peters off the telly and I’ve got something for you. Get down here, Darren, I need you down here!”

After a few more seconds, he added: “Come on Darren, you’re keeping Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid waiting.”

Piers told him: “You had one job Peters!”

When Darren eventually appeared – sadly, with his clothes on – he looked a bit shocked and said he would be spending his winnings on a holiday to Ibiza. Andi asked about the nakedness and Darren admitted: “I’ve been on a night shift.”

Another laughed: “Would love to see some bloke open the door in his undercrackers.”

Others blamed Andi’s knocking technique, writing: “@andipeters knocking the door like a damn bailiff. No wonder he wasn’t answering the door. Lol.”
