Ben Shephard's cheeky response as GMB presenter strips to corset and heels live on air

Ben Shephard made a cheeky admission on Good Morning Britain when entertainment editor Richard Arnold stripped down to a corset for a special segment on the show.

Richard joined the show live in the studio before giving viewers a treat with a behind-the-scenes look at The Rocky Horror Show at London's Peacock Theatre.

In a previously filmed segment, Richard joined the cast at the theatre where he swapped his usual suit for a red string corset, a feather boa and black knickers.

He finished off the look with a pair of high heels, in a homage to Rocky Horror's cross-dressing mad scientist Frank-N-Furter, as he was shown around backstage.

After the clip aired, Ben joked: "It's been years and years since I've seen your nipples!"

"You only have to ask," Richard cheekily hit back.

Speaking about his trip to meet The Rocky Horror Show cast, Richard admitted: "It was extraordinary! I love it when you get the chance to do those things as well. I've done other shows over the years, you know cameos. The cast are so generous!"

He later added: "I did ask for the feather boa to protect some of my modesty but it kept on slipping, Ben!"

Good Morning Britain fans were quick to comment on Richard's unusual attire as one viewer tweeted: "Richard Arnold in a corset - not exactly what I wanted to wake to," and another questioned: "I’m no prude but do we really need to see Richard Arnold in a pair of knickers, basque, stockings and suspenders and heels?"

A third added: "Jesus..what did I just see..looked up from phone and Richard Arnold is in a corset and feather boa....," and another said: "Never thought I’d see someone in a corset and suspenders at this time on a morning but Richard has fabulous legs."

Ben hosted Friday's show with Charlotte Hawkins, who stepped in for Kate Garraway.

Kate hosted Thursday's episode with Ben after Susanna Reid announced she would be taking a 10-day break from the show.
