Jamie Redknapp's GMB chat interrupted by 'new girlfriend' and phone call blunder

Jamie Redknapp's Good Morning Britain interview alongside his father Harry was twice interrupted on Thursday morning by other members of his household.

A woman walked into the back of the shot during his video call, which may have been his new girlfriend, Swedish model Frida Andersson-Lourie, who he is dating following his divorce from Louise Redknapp.

One fan tweeted: "Jamie's new squeeze in the background lol #GMB ".

And the video call was also interrupted when his son Beau's account popped up as a participant, which Jamie, 47, explained was because someone was calling him during the interview.

Other viewers noticed another blunder - that Good Morning Britain had made a typo on the screen, referring to Jamie and Harry's new "chat sow" instead of their "chat show".

One viewer wondered: " #GMB what the devil is a chat sow?"

Jamie also spoke about the moment he accidentally walked past his 74-year-old dad Harry's camera during another Zoom interview, while clad in only a towel from the waist down.

He promised it was not deliberate, as Susanna Reid accused him of lingering a while in the background - and revealed he actually thought his father was just on the phone as he had not been warned.

"He knew I had to shower, I thought he was on the phone, Susanna! I couldn't believe it."

He then cheekily took aim at Ben Shephard, who was also hosting, quipping: "And I know you've got Ben in there and he can't wait to get his kit off, I've done Soccer Aid with him!"

Ben quipped: "Not when my old man's on the phone Jamie, I'll spare him that! That's a step too far quite frankly."

Asked for their thoughts on the Super League affair, Jamie said: "It was incredible, the audacity, it was just pure greed.

"The owners thinking that they could just manufacture a situation that’s going to work for them and not for one second think about the most important people in football, which are the fans.

"For it to happen so quickly and then for it to collapse so quickly at the other side of it, was just frightening and I’m so pleased that the fans stood up against it.

"Sometimes these things can get pushed through and happen, but thankfully it didn’t."

He added: I would like to say it’s over, but I don't think it is. I do believe it will come back in some form because owners, they’re in this for business, they’re not in it for the love of the club… these guys buy the club purely to make money out of it…

"This won’t be the last time it happens, I’m sure.”

Harry said: “The sad part about it, I honestly believe that if you’d have asked the other 14 clubs that didn’t get invited in, they would have jumped at the opportunity.

"They would’ve all put their hands up to go in. Because it’s money and that’s what they’re interested in, £300 million a year or whatever, and they’d have wanted a bigger slice of that cake.

"It was completely out of order what happened… It’s purely, purely about money and that was all it was.

"I don't know what they can do? They can’t deduct points, what can they do? They’ll all probably sit there and will move on from it.

"Hopefully that is the end of it, hopefully it doesn’t raise its head again but I wouldn’t bet on it.”
