Susanna and Ben baffled as 'someone pulls the plug' in middle of Keir Starmer interview on GMB

GMB hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard were left stunned during today's episode as a mystery person 'pulled the plug' during Sir Keir Starmer's interview. 

The leader of the Labour party appeared on the show via a live video stream and was in the middle of explaining when it would be safe to return to work. 

It comes as trade unions say more detail is needed, especially on PPE. 

However, as the party leader was in mid-sentence, the live video feed suddenly froze.

After a couple of seconds of silence, Ben said: "Oh it looks like we may have just lost the link to Keir Starmer. Have we managed to put a bit more money in the meter?" 

"Oh dear" Susanna said after another moment of silence. 

Ben then jokingly said: "Someone's pulled the plug!" 

Susanna added: "That was weird wasn't it? It sort of froze there."

 

 

"You know when your WiFi sort of drops out, that eternal frustration." Ben chimed. 

However, a baffled Susanna then insisted: "But it normally glitches before it freezes." 

"A bit of lag," Ben added. "It just sort of stopped."

After another brief moment, Susanna held a finger to her ear piece, telling viewers: "Just checking that we can still get Sir Keir Starmer..."  

"We're hoping that we can get him back." Ben said. 

Unfortunately, it would seem the TV presenters weren't to get Kier back on video chat, so they had to turn to their next segment.
