ITV This Morning viewers ask 'how' as Carol Vorderman left squirming over awkward gaffe

This Morning viewers were left slightly confused as Carol Vorderman appeared on the last edition of the show of the week. The ITV daytime programme was back on screens on Friday (April 28) with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary at the helm after Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield hosted their first string of shows together in four weeks.

Kicking off the last This Morning of the week, the hosting duo were joined live in the studio by Carol and Vanessa Feltz while Nick Ferarri joined via video link for the daily 'This Morning's View' segment which sees the hosts and their guests discuss the latest news headlines and other stories getting people talking.

Carol, 62, then later hosted her own phone-in segment on love in which she tried to help viewers struggling to find love or experiencing issues in their relationship.

But as she appeared on the programme, fans took to social media to share their bafflement with many questioning whether Carol had been dumped from I'm A Celebrity... South Africa. The former Countdown star is currently being watched in the spin-off series of the hit ITV reality show.

It sees a number of former, memorable campmates from I'm A Celeb's 20-year history head to the new setting of Kruger National Park, as opposed to the usual jungle location in Australia, before they battle out to be crowned the first-ever I'm A Celebrity 'Legend'. However, it appears not everyone is aware the show was pre-recorded last year.

@R088308 asked: "How is Carol on #thismorning is she not in the jungle? I’m confused." @ReillyVine echoed: "How is Carol Vorderman on #ThisMorning #ImACelebSouthAfrica." @emilyyalejandra posted: "How is carol on #ThisMorning @thismorning when she's in the #ImACeleb jungle?"

Luckily, those who knew I'm A Celeb had been pre-recorded were quick to fill their fellow viewers in. Early into This Morning, Carol was left squirming when a mistake was made when chatting about Gwyneth Paltrow's new sex page on her website Goop, which Carol admitted she'd already perused.

Alison asked: "Do you think this is the platform we were missing? Do you think we were missing this Vanessa?" To which she quickly replied: "No, I have not been missing it," as Alison turned to Nick. She asked the LBC presenter: "What about you Nick? Do you feel this is the platform we were missing?"

Nick laughed: "Can I clarify, when Carol started, did she say Goop sex or group sex?" Carol squirmed over Nick's mistake as he asked again: "Goop or group sex? I couldn't quite hear." It was Alison who then clarified: "It's Goop sex," as Carol laughed and shook her head.
