Joe Swash laughed off his bad luck on Good Morning Britain earlier today as he appeared on live TV without his clothes.
The ex EastEnders actor suffered the embarrassing problem with his on air outfit after losing his trousers and jacket on the way to the studio.
The 37-year-old TV personality joked he “had an issue this morning” when co-star Sean Fletcher revealed he had stepped in to save the day within moments of the ITV breakfast show starting.
Pointing out he had lent Joe a spare blazer, Sean indicated he was annoyed the former King of the Jungle wore it better than him.

And as hosts Ranvir Singh and Adil Ray continued to tease the vest-wearing Joe over his appearance, he finally explained the reason behind his clothes blunder.
“I forgot my trousers, I forgot everything,” Joe admitted.
Turns out Joe – after an evening covering The BRITs – had a momentary lapse of concentration when getting in the cab over to GMB, placing his get up on the roof of the vehicle.
However, it seems he “panicked a bit” when remembering how much he gets told off over locking a door by girlfriend Stacey Solomon and so turned his attention away from his clothes.

“My clothes have blown off somewhere on the A12,” he announced, confirming his trousers’ fate.
“I’m hoping to find them on the way home,” Joe continued, agreeing with Adil that the gaffe sounded like it could have been scripted for Frank Spencer.
Mugging to the camera, Joe laughed: “Some mothers do ‘ave them… mine did!”
Going on to describe his stray suit, London-born Joe also revealed another embarrassing wardrobe secret – he had name labels sewn into it.
He detailed: “It’s a lovely fitted jacket with a delicate little pinstripe. Grey with a tinge of navy blue.
“My name’s in the back of it, so have a look!”
To hysterics from his astonished colleagues, Joe continued: “This is not the first time it has happened!”
Viewers were also tickled by Joe’s story, with many adding crying laughter emojis to tweeted comments about him.
Guess which one of us lost our clothes this morning? Not me, @adilray or @ranvir01. I had to lend @JoeSwashTV my suit for @gmb and doesn’t he look overjoyed??!? pic.twitter.com/2NpUOWVZk7

“Loving Joe’s infectious personality this morning,” said one.
Another remarked: “He’s a breath of fresh air and has me in stitches.”
However, another fan said: “If you’re going to appear on TV please dress appropriately.”
And someone else harrumphed: “I’ve turned over because I can’t stand him, let alone first thing in the morning.”
Has anyone seen @realjoeswash‘s clothes?
You’ll know they’re his as his name is sewn into the back! 😂 pic.twitter.com/IKJv0YX7hN
