Both broadcasters have worked at Good Morning Britain since 2014, with 53-year-old Andi being the competition announcer and 46-year-old Ranvir being a relief presenter.

What did Andi say to Ranvir?

During yesterday’s show, as Andi begins to present this segement, the camera angle is first looking over the studio where Ranvir is sitting next Ed Balls and Susanne Reid as she browses her laptop.

In the voiceover, Andi says: "Ranvir, I can see you're online shopping. I wouldn't get that in a medium, Ranvir.”

The mum of one from Preston then waves up to the camera as Andi adds: “That's optimistic".

Andi, now in the camera frame, then laughs and exclaims: “Her face!”
