GOOD Morning Britain was thrown into chaos just minutes before today’s live show wrapped – leaving host Richard Madeley moaning “Oh my God.”

The ITV broadcaster sought help from the on-set crew during the very noisy mishap on the final segment of Thursday’s episode.

It came during a debate about mobile phones in schools and, more specifically, whether kids should be body-scanned for the devices as they enter the gates.

As part of the analysis, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway, 57, wielded the knife-style scanner around as they chatted.

Yet, as it started to screech, Richard, 68, advised her to “do the link” as he attempted to turn it off.

With it stored safely under the desk it appeared all was well until it started beeping again – leaving the panelists giggling.

Richard moaned: “Oh my God,” in frustration before he pulled it out.

He then said: “Can somebody please? …” before he stood up to give it to a member of GMB staff off-screen before continuing the chat.

One fan took to X to plead: “Stop being so childish with the scanners, it’s sending my dog crazy.”

A second wrote: “Christ I need to mute.”

Another addressed the subject matter of the chat more specifically and wrote: “Kids use iPads for school work so taking phones off them is futile.”

One then put: “There’s NO need for phones in schools.

“If contact with a parent is needed then the school can arrange it. Why take phones to school if they have to be handed in?

“POINTLESS! Leave the damn things at home.”

 

 

Earlier this year, The Sun reported how schools have been told to ban phones under new Government guidance.

The crackdown – which was announced under the previous Conservative-led Government – aimed to tackle “unnecessary distraction” during lessons and throughout the rest of the school day.

It has been a busy few days on the ITV daytime show.

On Wednesday, Richard and co-presenter Charlotte Hawkins consoled show guest Nancy Dell’Olio as she opened up on her last conversation with former partner Sven-Goran Eriksson.
