Red-faced Kate Garraway left the Good Morning Britain studios in hysterics on Friday morning when she made an accidental innuendo while praising her milkman Mick.

Wanting to thank Mick on air, Kate, 53, said she wanted to thank him for ‘offering her extras’ during this extremely difficult time.

She said: ‘Mick, my milkman, who has just been amazing.
‘He has absolutely just kept me going. He’ll leave me a little note saying “do you need anything extra other than the milk?”‘
After a split second pause, Ben burst out laughing as did presenters Alex Beresford and Richard Arnold and when she realised what she had said, Kate howled with laughter, putting her head in her hands.
She said: ‘Mick, my milkman, who has just been amazing. He has absolutely just kept me going. He’ll leave me a little note saying “do you need anything extra other than the milk?”‘
Kate protested: ‘I mean, like bread, butter or orange juice, which he also supplies. He leaves a little smiley face.’
Ben teased: ‘Are you still answering the door in your dressing gown and fluffy slippers?’
Kate laughed: ‘And a shower cap… Mick, thank you. Shall we move on as I’ve got myself in trouble. Even I didn’t see that one coming.’

HAAAAAA! Richard Arnold also lost it over the hilarious moment
Mick is now trending on Twitter and Kate giggled and said: ‘Oh God I hope his family weren’t watching. He’s going to get back from his round and they’ll say “what the heck has been going on?”‘
It was heartwarming to see Kate laughing as she has been very open about her own personal struggles as her husband Derek, 53, remains in a coma.
He went into hospital in March with coronavorus and while he is now clear of the virus, his body has been ravaged from the effects of the disease.

‘I took some holiday leave, at home because I know holidays are controversial, literally within the four walls of my home.
‘I had a lot of sleep and a bit of medicine and feeling much better.’
