Good Morning Britain suffers awkward blunder as Richard Arnold's mic stops working

ok.co.uk:

Good Morning Britain was hit with some technical problems this morning (October 11) when a malfunctioning microphone caused an on-air blunder.

Hosting the ITV daytime show were hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid who welcomed entertainment reporter Richard Arnold to give an spooky announcement.

Richard, 66, began his link and said: "Richard Arnold is going to be here with all the entertainment news and things are getting a tiny bit spooky." But as the "spooky" music played and the camera cut to Richard, he began speaking and there was no sound from his microphone.

After a few awkward seconds Susanna, 51, cut in saying: "It's so spooky that apparently someone's muted your mic." The entertainment reporter could then be heard distantly yelling: "Can you hear me, mother?!" Adding: "Shall we go again?" But Richard replied: "No, we still can't hear you," with Susanna adding, "It's gremlins in the tech".
