This Morning hosted a performance of the musical White Christmas today - but fans were distracted.
Those tuning in to watch Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were surprised to also see Brookside's Sinbad on their screens. The actor, Michael Starke, seems to have taken a change in career - leaving the small screen behind him to perform on stage instead.
Fans couldn't believe their eyes as they questioned if it was really him on Twitter. Jackie said: "Is that Sinbad from Brookside #thismorning?"

The Liverpool born actor is best known for his role as Thomas 'Sinbad' Sweeney, which he played for sixteen years, in the Channel 4 soap. But since then, the 65-year-old has recently starred in many touring productions of West End musicals, including playing the role of Edna Turnblad in the first UK tour of Hairspray and originating the role of Monsignor Howard in the first UK tour of Sister Act the musical.
Currently, he is playing the role of General Waverly in White Christmas The Musical. He gave fans a sneak peek at his impressive voice as he joined his castmates on This Morning on Monday. The show will be opening in Liverpool at the Empire Theatre on Tuesday, December 6 and will be on until December 31.
