Kate Garraway scolds Ben Shephard as he brutally mocks GMB guest minutes before chat
Ben Shephard took a cheeky swipe at Michael Ball on Good Morning Britain as he interviewed his close pal Alfie Boe and Sarah Brightman.During Friday’s instalment of the popular ITV breakfast show, the 47-year-old and his co-host Kate Garraway welcomed the professional singers onto the show to discuss their latest collaboration to mark the Platinum Jubilee next month.The pair teamed up to share their remake and stellar duet of the national anthem God Save The Queen and hope that their new track will reach number one to mark Her Royal Highness’ 70th year on the throne.But the dad-of-three couldn’t help but bring up his West End pal as he asked whether the star has been coping well after being left out of the epic duet.After discussing the new single, Sarah apologised to Michael on air which led to the TV presenter asking what he thought of their hit song.He pointed out: “There’s an elephant in the room, or not in the room as it were” which was met with a swarm of ‘Ohhs’ in the studio at the scathing remark on air.Kate warned him: “Ohhh he won’t like that” before she added: “Oh Michael I don’t think you’re an elephant.”As he awkwardly chuckled at her scolding comment, he apologised to the star, adding: "I didn't mean it like that, it's a common phrase."Attempting to rescue Ben from the awkward moment, brunette beauty Sarah interjected with: “He’s a cuddly bear” which the broadcaster agreed before he moved on with the topic.But his 55-year-old co-star wasn't quick to forget his comment as she concluded the interview saying: "I don't think you're in his good books." He moved on to ask: "Boe and Brighton has a good ring to it - how does Mr Ball feel about this?" Alfie joked: "He's having sleepless nights.

Brit satellite set to be blasted into space from Cornwall to help catch pirates
The Cornish are taking to space to catch pirates.A satellite that will track ships to combat terrorism, smuggling and piracy is to be blasted into orbit from the West Country.The hi-tech device will be aboard the first ever space launch from British - and European - soil this summer.A modified Boeing 747-400 named Cosmic Girl is due to take off from Cornwall Airport Newquay, Britain’s first operational spaceport, with a Virgin Orbit rocket under one wing.It will pinpoint pirates globally who are trying to remain ‘dark’ and warn neighbouring targets by picking up a variety of signals emitted by ships, including radio frequencies, mobile and satellite phone signals and radar.An official stated: “The data will be used by governments to provide information on the tracking and prevention of illegal fishing, smuggling, trafficking, piracy and terrorism.”It means spooks can track ships that are trying to remain hidden by “going dark” and switching off their transmitters, a tactic used by oil tankers trying to break embargoes, fishing vessels in forbidden waters, drug smugglers, human traffickers and even warships.Dan Hart, the chief executive of Virgin Orbit, said: “We believe tracking shipping from space is vital to keeping the seas safe and that Amber-1 is a key technology that will aid this endeavour.”The only other satellite confirmed for the launch is the first Omani satellite, which will launch into deep space to collect data on climate change and natural disasters.The satellite was created in a partnership between Satellite Applications Catapult, a company based in Didcot, Oxfordshire, and Horizon Technologies, a British firm specialising in the monitoring of satellite phones.Catapult’s Lucy Edge said: “This launch is a
