Good Morning Britain fans taken aback by Andi Peters' age

Good Morning Britain's Andi Peters celebrates his birthday today, and he couldn't help but announce the news live on television.

During Friday's instalment of the morning programme, he told viewers how they could win £2,000 as part of the Free Cash Friday competition. After Ranvir Singh said the competition was "what live TV was invented for", Andi also seemed excited.

He said: "It's Friday, there's free cash, it's my birthday".

There was a slightly awkward moment, as co-hosts Ben Shephard and Ranvir Singh didn't seem to know it was his birthday until he mentioned it, with someone behind the scenes quickly playing "happy birthday".

Ben said: "Andi Peters, did you just slip in that it was your birthday?" and Andi replied: "I may have mentioned it was my birthday today, but only very briefly".

When Ben then asked how old he turns today (Friday), Andi replied: "31", before revealing he is actually 52 today. Fans of the show were clearly taken aback by the admission.

Taking to Twitter, Charlotte said: "Andi Peters is never 52! Happy birthday x", while SMC said: "Andi Peters looks younger now than he did twenty odd years ago".

Rob said: "Andi just doesn't age" and Tess said: "Andi Peters turning 52 makes me feel like a dinosaur".
