Good Morning Britain presenter Ben Shephard aimed a swipe at Kate Garraway for her incredibly brightly coloured outfit, which she wore on the programme today.Sharing a picture of them both in the studio with his 792,500 Twitter followers, Ben made a rather cheeky joke about Kate’s wardrobe choice.Today, Good Morning Britain featured a discussion about Dame Cressida Dick’s resignation as Metropolitan Police chief, as well as a segment from money expert Martin Lewis calling for the government's £200 energy rebate to be scrapped.However, an unlikely star of the show turned out to be Kate’s dress, which proved to be very divisive with viewers. Her co-star Ben, 47, tweeted out: “Morning all - @kategarraway was at an awards do last night and this morning has won the award for ‘Best Supporting Collar!’ “Either that or she’s lost a fight with a Battenberg! “(Cheers Ray on Twitter for that)” he added with a laughing emoji.Kate’s dress featured an admittedly unique design, decorated with red, yellow and orange flowers in front of a black background on the main body. While this part of the outfit didn’t particularly prove to split opinion, it was the bright yellow and red collar and sleeves that appeared to attract the most attention. A Battenberg is a light sponge cake covered in marzipan with different sections held together with jam. When cut in cross section, it displays a distinctive two-by-two check pattern alternately coloured in pink and yellow - this pattern is not dissimilar to the one visible on Kate’s dress.Some viewers joined in on Ben’s joke, with CharlotteUKCity keeping up the dessert theme.“Suddenly had a craving for rhubarb and custard sweets,” she commented.“Kate’s cuffs and collar are guaranteed to wake the
