GMB fans distracted by feature in boxer Lawrence Okolie's home

Good Morning Britain fans were left distracted today by one particular feature in boxer Lawrence Okolie's home.

Lawrence appeared on the ITV breakfast show today to tell his inspiring story to hosts Adil Ray and Kate Garraway.

He told the show how he'd decided to get into boxing after seeing Anthony Joshua at the 2012 Olympics during a break at his McDonald's job.

Lawrence was inspired and decided to try and get into the sport, despite having no previous experience.

The 28-year-old managed to hone his craft and competed in the 2016 Olympics in Rio for Team GB.

Lawrence then went pro and managed to win the the WBO cruiserweight title last month.

Many viewers were inspired by Lawrence's story, but lots of people were quick to point out an awkward feature in his home.

Lawrence had his world title belt behind him, but there was also a clock on the wall that was running 10 minutes fast.

And lots of people took to social media to point it out, as well as praising Lawrence for his achievements.

Layla-Jade said: "His clock is 10 mins fast or this ain’t live."

Scully said: "TV Of the Future right there... @GMB why is it 8.21 in Lawrence's' Bedroom clock on LIVE TV??"

Sue said: "I think Lawrence's clock a bit fast."

Ryan Glendenning said: "Lawrence's story is so inspirational he has come a long way to get to where he is right now."

And Fluffadelic said: "Maybe Lawrence hates being late."

*GMB continues at 6am on ITV tomorrow
