ITV Good Morning Britain presenter interrupts to correct co-star live on air
Good Morning Britain star Richard Arnold found himself being tactfully corrected on Wednesday's programme by guest host Martin Lewis during a light-hearted chat.
Richard was jesting with Coronation Street star Mollie Gallagher about acting as a "seat-filler" before she secured her role as Nina Lucas, which led to her winning Best Serial Performance in 2021.
"I've never won a gong at the NTAs but I'm always welcomed every year as a seat-filler so that's something, I'm still in the building!" he quipped.
Quick to clarify the situation, Martin intervened: "To defend the NTAs - having won one - the seat-fillers are actually for when you have to go up and do interviews afterwards, it's not empty seats, it's because you're going off to do interviews afterwards."
Joining in the banter, Richard countered, "They have plenty of bums on seats, of course," before adding with his usual wit, "You'll be getting another one, don't worry about it!"
Susanna Reid also assured Martin, "They're not going to take it away from you!" to which he remarked, sharing his experience, "I'm normally up against David Attenborough - it's not that easy."
Last year saw Martin lose out on the coveted award, despite a double nomination for Best Factual and Best Expert for his engaging ITV show, sparking comments from fans about his apparent irritation at the outcome, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Despite his previous triumph, Martin missed out on the award to Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out and Sir David Attenborough, with eagle-eyed fans spotting him looking somewhat miffed.
He later posted: "Well you can't win em all (or any tonight! ) but thanks so much to all who voted and supported me."
Quashing any speculation of discontent, Martin shared a cheerful selfie from the event on his social media platforms.
The money-saving guru had previously outshone Sir David and Clarkson's Farm to clinch the accolade in 2022, expressing his surprise: "When you're up against an international treasure like David Attenborough you don't normally expect to win, I'm quite shocked. Whoever said we've had enough of experts, no we haven't we need them more than ever right now.
"Thank you so much to Claire and Angelica and everyone at the Martin Lewis Money Show and also to the web team who feed me the information and do the analysis for Money Saving Expert."
He highlighted the financial struggles faced by many, citing the energy crisis as catastrophic, leading to severe issues and mental health concerns, and warned of the looming mortgage crisis impacting rents.
"And you know what, we need somebody to get a grip on the economy and sort things a little bit better.
"But that's for my show next Tuesday, tonight this nerd is gonna party! Thank you and good night."
During Wednesday's GMB, Mollie Gallagher, known for her role as Nina in Coronation Street, shared her humble beginnings at the NTAs, revealing she initially attended as a "seat-filler" to ensure the venue looked packed.
"That's how you started at the NTAs and then ended up winning one," Richard lauded.
Mollie reminisced about an email from drama school inviting her to be a seat-filler at the NTAs, thinking it would be "cool" to be involved.
"I was a massive Corrie fan so I thought, 'I hope they sit me next to Corrie,' but they didn't," she continued.
She described being overwhelmed by the event, aspiring to one day be on the receiving end of such accolades, which she saw as a form of manifestation.
"I remember being in awe and thinking, 'I want this one day, this is going to be me,' it was basically a manifestation there and then. Then when it did happen, my best friend was like, 'Mollie this is so weird,' and I was like, 'I know!'" she added.
Reflecting on her unexpected win, Mollie admitted she was unprepared and has never rewatched her acceptance speech, finding it too cringe-worthy to endure.
"I did not expect to win, I was not prepared, it was a whirlwind, and that speech... I've never watched it back since, I can watch myself act but the speech, I try and watch it, and ten seconds in I go, 'Nope, not today, never!'"

British ITV drama 'that made TV history' storms Netflix top 10 chart
Netflix viewers have rushed to watch a legal drama from the man who created The Crown. First hitting screens in 2002, The Jury was the first TV show to ever be allowed to film inside the historic Old Bailey courthouse. Before he was busy delving into the private lives of the Royal Family, Peter Morgan penned this drama, which fans have called a 'compelling must-see'. The first season followed the killing of a teenage boy, who was stabbed 28 times on his way to school one morning. After one of his classmates is charged with murder, a jury must decide his guilt. 'The trial, which is engulfed in protests and media speculation, brings together 12 jurors who find themselves having to make a decision that the entire country is waiting for,' it was teased of the series. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. The jurors tasked with making a ruling included Charles, a young man who has left the seminary to search for his lost love; Elsie, an old lonely woman who is dying; Johnny, a recovering alcoholic; Jeremy, a once-wealthy family man who lost all his money when conned by a friend in a bad investment and Marcia, a single mother who is forced to let her mother back into her life during the trial. The actors who played jury members included Gerard Butler, Helen McCrory, Stuart Bunce, Nicholas Farell and Tim Healy. Over a decade later – in 2011 – it was followed by a second season. This week both were added onto Netflix, with the show now one of the most watched shows in the UK, currently sitting on number 7 on the charts. In 2010 the second season of The Jury was announced, with ITV describing the show as a 'character-based series which focuses on the everyday people who find themselves at the centre of one of the most controversial criminal re-trials of their time'. Standing alone from the events of the first season, the second follows the retrial of Alan Lane, who was convicted five years earlier of the murder of three women whom he'd met through an Internet dating site. The jurors include Paul Brierly, a single man looking after his mother; Katherine Bulmore, a teacher who has had an affair with a 17-year-old pupil; Tahir Takana, a Sudanese immigrant waiting to get a visa to join his brother in the US and Rashid, a quiet young man with Asperger's Syndrome. The cast included Julie Walters, Sarah Alexander, Roger Allen, Danny Babington, Lisa Dillon and Jo Hartley. Sharing their thoughts on the show online, viewers called it 'thought-provoking', 'compelling' and the 'perfect binge watch'. Speaking in 2011 Peter, who had gone on to work on movies including The Queen, Frost/ Nixon and The Other Boleyn Girl, spoke about how another season came to fruition after a decade. More Trending 'I had fun doing the original one and enjoyed it and missed it. I suddenly thought, 'I'd like to do that again'. There'd been silence from ITV so I assumed they didn't want me to do another one, and I think maybe they thought because I was writing films I wouldn't want to do one,' he said. 'So, there was this misunderstanding. 'But I said, 'Fancy another one? Because I'd really love to write one'. And they said, 'Sure'.' View More » The Jury is streaming on Netflix. Got a story?

Emmerdale's Adam Thomas in 'advanced talks' for I'm A Celebrity All Stars return
I'm A Celebrity spin-off All Stars is rumoured to be coming back and the latest speculation is that Emmerdale's Adam Thomas is in 'advanced talks' to appear on the ITV show A former soap star is reportedly in discussions to appear on the next series of I'm A Celebrity spin-off All Stars. Adam Thomas is said to be in "advanced talks" with ITV about signing up for it after reaching the final of the main series. Adam, 36, known for his roles on shows like Waterloo Road and Emmerdale, was a campmate in the jungle in Australia in 2016. He placed third in the final, behind runner-up Joel Dommett and winner Scarlett Moffatt, that year. Three years later, Adam co-hosted I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp. He fronted the companion show with Emily Atack for one series in 2019 and his former campmate Joel also featured. It's now rumoured that Adam could take part in spin-off All Stars, which was filmed in South Africa for its debut series in 2022. A second series is reportedly due to be filmed in the country this autumn ahead of airing next year. A source told the Sun: "This will be a glorious return for Adam as he established himself as a true fan favourite through his series in camp and then on the spin-off show." They added that he's remained on TV since then though. They said: "He's stayed in the limelight, too, with Waterloo Road and then on ITV alongside brother Ryan with challenge show 99 To Beat. It's the perfect time for him to head back into the jungle and affirm his position as Mr Bushtucker Trial." Alongside his career on TV, Adam has also made headlines in recent years after being diagnosed with arthritis. The actor has raised awareness of the condition, having spoken about his experience, including in posts on social media. Former Strictly Come Dancing star Adam initially shared that he had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. He's since said that he has psoriatic arthritis - described by the NHS as a long-term condition that causes joint pain, swelling and stiffness. The NHS states that there's currently no cure for arthritis, but that treatments that can help slow it down. In an update posted on Instagram just last week, Adam spoke about taking medication but expressed hope that "this disease can be cured naturally". He told his followers that he would like to not have to take medication one day. Alongside a photo of himself injecting his thigh with medication, he wrote: "I lost hope ... I never thought I'd get my old life back ... I was wrong. To anyone struggling with arthritis and is lost and can't seem to find hope ... stay strong! It's a long and painful road but I promise you ... you will!" He went on to say that his medication has "changed" his life and promoted biologic injections, which he's said to take once every two weeks. Adam said: "No side effects no brain fog no throwing up, nothing! Nothing but pain free!" Adam continued: "I know this isn't going to heal the disease but it's given me a life I never thought I'd have again! Still putting in the work and focusing on diet and recovery as I'd like to think this disease can be cured naturally and one day I'd like to not have to take any meds but until then …" He concluded by telling fans that he wanted to "bring hope" to others with arthritis and to raise awareness. He said: "I feel like it's not talked about enough." He urged in his post: "Don't lose hope don't lose yourself to this disease." I'm a Celebrity... South Africa, often referred to as All Stars, featured a host of former campmates when it launched in 2022. Myleene Klass won the debut series of the spin-off after having been runner-up on I'm A Celebrity back in 2006. Adam is the latest former campmate rumoured for a potential return. Earlier this week, it was reported that comedian Seann Walsh, 39, has been in talks to appear on the spin-off after placing fifth on I'm A Celebrity in 2022. Harry Redkna pp and Gemma Collins had already been named as potential campmates. Former football manager Harry won I'm A Celebrity in 2018, whilst reality TV star Gemma quit after a few days when she did the show in 2014.

Coronation Street star bows out in sad scenes as fans call for U-turn
Coronation Street character Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hefarty) left the programme during Wedneday night's episode of the ITV soap in emotional scenes that played out behind bars Lou Michaelis bowed out of Coronation Street on Wednesday as she tearfully said goodbye to her children from behind bars - amid calls from fans to bring her back. The character, played by Farrel Hegarty, has only been on the ITV soap for a matter of months but has had an explosive time of it, with many viewers not wanting her to go. She arrived alongside her husband Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton), who made an enemy of various Weatherfield residents, and in May, he was jailed for the murder of PC Craig Tinker ( Colson Smith). Prior to that, a f lashback episode confirmed that after Mick had gone to prison for a crime Kit Green committed, and had become an enemy of the policeman in the process. But things were made worse when Mick discovered that Kit and Lou had conceived a baby when he was behind bars, meaning that teenager Brody (Ryan Mulvey) was not his son as he had initially thought. Shortly after the couple's debut, viewers were introduced to their daughters Joanie (Savanna Pennigton) and Shanice (Molly Kilduff), and things reached a climax when Mick broke out of prison in an attempt to take back his eldest. A rooftop tussle with Kit ended in a near-fatal stabbing for the police officer whilst Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) tried to shield Joanie from danger before Mick went back to jail. What's more, another flashback episode had revealed that Lou had put Gary Windass (Mikey North) in a coma when she hit him over the head amid a failed blackmail attempt, and she too was put behind bars. Mick's final scenes aired last week, and on Wednesday's edition of soap, Lou had accepted the fact that she was also going to be inside for a long time after Sally refused to loan her the money she would need for top lawyers. She told the Underworld machinist: "I've come to terms with the fact that I'm gonna do a decent stretch and I don't want you bringing the kids to see me anymore. Not regularly, any road. I don't want them to get used to seeing me in here. In this place." Through tears, she insisted to Sally: "I just think it's best I say goodbye to them for now. For all our sakes." "It's gonna be all right though, in a long time. You will get through this,", Sally tried to reassure her as the pair of them shared a heartfelt parting themselves. Sally vowed to take care of the girls while Lou is behind bars, and the schoolchildren enjoyed one last hug with their mum before they said goodbye. Just after the emotional farewell, Brody also promised his mum that he would be there for his half-sisters. This is not the first time Sally has been responsible for two girls, as she and ex-husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) have Rosie (Helen Flanagan) and Sophie (Brooke Vincent) together. Whilst her own daughters are no longer residing in Weatherfield, some of the storylines included Sally trying to push Rosie into stage school in the years before she started up an affair with her teacher John Stape (Graeme Hawley), and learning to accept her youngest as a lesbian. Meanwhile, Sally's second husband Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) is also the father of former regular Faye Windass (Ellie Leach), and even though she was adopted by Anna Windass (Debbie Rush) as a child, he became a constant presence for her throughout her tumultuous teenage years, which saw her at the centre of a violet bullying storyline as well as a secret pregnancy. At the time of Lou's debut on Coronation Street, she and her on-screen husband were dubbed as the new versions of Les and Janice Battersby, but only a short while after playing the hairdresser, Farrel vaguely discussed the exit for the first time to The Mirror and other press. She teased what was ahead, while also confirming the fact that she did know from the start she would be leaving after a matter of months, with an exit always on the cards despite some reports. She explained of why she took on the short-term role, knowing she would only be there for a specific amount of time: "I just think she really appealed to me because she's the sort of person who's never had it easy.

"She's built up a lot of coping mechanisms, where she's presenting a hard and feisty character with her walls up, and all she's ever known is these fiery relationships. And probably fiery relationships with a lot of people in her life, which is what makes a character like that so interesting. "Because she's a force and irrational. I read scripts and I go, 'Oh God! What's she doing now? What's she saying now?' Because it's not a way that I would behave, and because of that, it's so much fun to play. It's that desperation to protect that inner circle and because of that, she makes a mess of things. But a character like that is so fun to play, because there's never a dull moment."
