Kate Garraway went missing from today's Good Morning Britain after getting locked in the toilet.
The presenter headed off to the loo during an ad break this morning, but wasn't back in her seat when the breakfast show returned to air.
Confused Ben Shephard questioned whether they were live because Kate had not come back to the studio.
Baffled Ben asked: "Are we live? Has anyone seen Kate Garraway? Kate went to the toilet and she’s not come back. She’s locked in the door."
Susanna Reid added: "We did tell he to lock up when she was going to loos this morning. That is the message. Has the lock got stuck?"
Giggling Ben saw the funny side and pointed out that no one actually seemed concerned for Kate's welfare.
"No one seems concerned. Oh there she is," said Ben as he spotted Kate emerge through the studio doors.
Susanna sarcastically asked: "Do you want to join us Kate?"
Red-faced Kate walked back across the studio and apologised to Martin Lewis with the cameras still rolling.
The Money Saving Expert hilariously "escorted" the GMB presenter back to the desk.
After finding she was being laughed at, Kate said: "You leave the studio for a few minutes."
This came after Ben opened up on the time he was "transfixed" when he saw Kate topless
Ben had popped round for a cup of tea when he saw someone nude walk into the kitchen through the window outside - and realised it was his close friend.
He explained: "Kate had obviously gone home and had a sleep. Suddenly someone nude walked into the kitchen and I looked up and it was Kate. and she was topless I kind of stopped. I was transfixed."
Susanna mocked Ben when he claimed he didn't want to move because he was embarrassed.
The GMB host said that he slowly moved away and then cycled off in a "hot sweat".
Kate added: "The weird thing was I asked when are you coming over. You said 'I just got a bit tied up'."
