Good Morning Britain fans spot ‘tension’ between Martin Lewis and Kate Garraway as the financial expert ‘awkwardly’ interrupts his co-host
Good Morning Britain viewers spotted a very ‘awkward’ moment between hosts Martin Lewis and Kate Garraway during Wednesday’s episode.
Financial expert Martin, 50, returned to the breakfast show alongside Kate, 55, to discuss topical issues including the recent string of union strikes.
They were joined by Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire but viewers couldn’t help but notice that there appeared to be some ‘tension’ brewing between Martin and Kate.

During the discussion, Kate could be seen getting fed up as she battled to be heard while Martin continued to speak over her.
An annoyed Kate then shouted: ‘Sorry Martin…I haven’t even got to the point yet,’ but Martin carried on speaking over her as she sat silently.
Taking to Twitter, viewers were quick to criticise the presenters for ‘fighting for the last word’ and ‘speaking over each other’ as they addressed the ‘awkward’ moment.
One viewer wrote: ‘Watching @MartinSLewis cutting over @kategarraway is a little bit awkward. #GMB.’

A second said: ‘There seems to be some tension between Kate and Martin this morning’, while another added: ‘@GMB OMG how often is @MartinSLewis going to keep interrupting @kategarraway #bring back @edballs please.’
However, others also accused Kate of interrupting Martin, with one writing: ‘Kate on #GMB is interrupting basically Martin saying it, and she shouts for final say every time, about nothing.’
Another fumed: ‘Please stop shouting at each other! Throwing personal insults is not constructive to sensible debate.
‘Martin Lewis was trying his best to explain inflation but between the ‘guests’ and Kate (I have an opinion on everything but know nothing) interrupting…I turned to Sky news.’

It comes after Kate broke down on Lorraine earlier this month while discussing her husband Derek Draper’s health battle.
She became upset as she admitted that there ‘is no end point’ to his care and her new way of life can be ‘exhausting’ for those around her.
Derek is one of the UK’s longest-suffering patients of Covid after being admitted to hospital with the virus in March 2020, only returning to the family’s London home in April 2021, where he receives round-the-clock care.
She told host Lorraine Kelly: ‘And the thing is, when it’s a long battle like with Derek, there’s no end point and it can be exhausting for the people around me too’.

‘I know sometimes people say “oh she’s talking about that again” but what I’ve learnt is you only really know what it feels like when you’re in it’.
Before adding: ‘And now I get contacted by thousands and thousands of people who make me feel less alone.’
Discussing Derek’s current state of health after being rushed into hospital with sepsis, she said: ‘Oh, I mean you know, it’s a long onslaught.
‘I can see he has better days, he has worse days. He is thankfully at home now. It’s been a long battle to get him back home again.’
