ITV show Lorraine experienced an awkward live tech issue that left Ranvir Singh to try and fill the space of a lost segment.
Friday’s instalment of the breakfast show saw Ranvir speak from the studio in London to fashion expert Mark Heyes via a video feed as he attended the races at Goodwood Festival in West Sussex today.
After a pre-recorded video that showed viewers how to get a boho style for reasonable prices, Mark was due to show off retro looks in-person from the races.
However, as one of the models showed off one of the looks, the video feed froze and cut out.

Ranvir said: “Oh hang on, now we’re going to go back to Mark in a moment. You know he said there was a storm going on there so earlier on when we were chatting to him about it, the wind was blowing, everything, the rain was pouring down.
“So I’m slightly wondering if that’s caused a slight issue with that but we will try and get back to him because he’s got loads of gorgeous looks. He’s got lovely jumpsuits which I love most.
“He’s got loads of other dresses and lots of really good things for you.
“So, what we’ll do now is…so what could we do now? We could go to…fashion from Mark…”
The awkward pause then saw Ranvir laughed before revealing that she was having something told through her ear.

She said: “House plants…I’m being told we have something to do with house plants. Now, I don’t understand this.
“Mark’s got something about how you can brighten up your house and your mood with some houseplants. You’re not wearing them…unless you’re Lady Gaga…I don’t know what’s going on.”
A pre-recorded video that had aired on the show previously about how to use house plants in interior design that was presented by Mark Heyes was then shown.

Afterwards, Ranvir noted that it was “handy” that Mark was good with plants too when “his live situation goes to pot”.
The show then brought back TV broadcaster Ria Hebden to discuss the latest shows on TV.
The awkwardness did not go unnoticed by viewers at home on Twitter.
One person penned: “Must admit, how ranvir handled that s***show was impressive. True professional. #Lorraine ”.

Another person wrote: “What the f is going on … on #lorraine???”
Meanwhile, another wrote: “Utter shambles…you know I think I would actually prefer #lorraine and her “love it, amazing, brilliant” to this”.
Finally, one Lorraine viewer concluded:” No. Please dont back to him. Car crash TV #Lorraine ”.
