GMB's Adil Ray and Susanna Reid stunned as crew member wanders onto set in live blunder

Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Adil Ray were given a bit of a surprise when a crew member on the show wandered onto the set and into shot on Tuesday.

The ITV daytime programme was just returning from an ad break when the crew member, soon revealed to be the show's floor manager Tim, was seen walking across set, as cameras tried to get a wide shot of proceedings.

Tim was then forced to scurry across the studio to get back behind the camera as filming continued.

Picking up on what was going on, Susanna quipped: "Are you alright there?"

Was that a crew just walking in front of the shot?!" co-host Adil laughed, before adding: "Amazing!"

"The floor manager, very good," he continued as Susanna added: "Like an action shot!"

Tuesday's GMB took an emotional turn it its final half hour when Susanna and Adil were joined by the loved ones of River Thames hero Folajimi 'Jimi' Olubunmi-Adewole, who lost his life, aged just 20, after diving into the River Thames to save a woman.

Susanna broke down in tears after Jimi's dad Michael paid tribute to the youngster, who jumped into the Thames after being alerted to the woman in distress while walking home from work late on Friday night.

The presenter could be seen wiping away tears as she added: "My heart is absolutely broken for you as parents," as Adil said: "it's tough, it's tough"

After speaking to Jimi's friend Bernard, who was with him on Friday night, Susanna added: "It's so, so difficult. Difficult for you and Jimi's mum and dad..." before mentioning a campaign to get Jimi a posthumous St George's Cross, an award that recognises someone who's put themselves in danger to save or try to save someone's life."
