Good Morning Britain in awkward Bonnie Tyler blunder live on air

If you're going to get a guest on your telly show, make sure you get the right pictures.

That's what Good Morning Britain bosses have learnt today after host Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid were left a little red faced during a chat with eighties star Bonnie Tyler.

The Total Eclipse of the Heart singer had to awkwardly point out that the one of the pictures used in the backdrop of her interview wasn't actually her at all.

Sitting down for her chat on the ITV show ahead of her performance for the Pope, the star screeched: "That's not me!"

Piers and Susanna laughed off the embarrassing moment but promised to find out who it actually was in the photo.

Bonnie or not Bonnie? (ITV)

And part-way through the interview, the answer became apparent and maybe it wasn't too much of an embarrassing blunder after all.

"We have solved the mystery of the picture," 53-year-old Piers revealed.

Bonnie then asked with intrigued: "Who is it?"

Piers replied: "Apparently, it's a Bonnie Tyler tribute act! But we're going to change her in real life to Bonnie Tyler."

Easy mistake to make.

Bonnie was still a hit with viewers (ITV)

After five decades in the business, GMB viewers revelled at the Welsh singer being back on screen.

One said: "Bonnie Tyler is such a breath of fresh air. So upbeat and positive, she's still got the voice too!"

"Lovely to see Bonnie Tyler on @GMB celebrating 50 years in show business. Looks and sounds as great as ever," added another.

A third also commented: "Bonnie's Welsh and I love her. Still got her accent."

Good Morning Britain continues at 6am on ITV tomorrow.
