The likes of Susanna Reid, Holly Willoughby, Lorraine Kelly and Judi Love were left blurting out all manner of random words, which left many at home speculating the cheeky Geordie lads were somehow involved.
Given their history with pranks on the show it wasn't a bad shout, in fact it was bang on the money.
The lads settled the confusion tonight, saying: "Now a lot of people were speculating that it might have had something to do with Saturday Night Takeaway.

The real weirdness began on Lorraine's show, with the 60-year-old yelping that there was a mouse in the studio.
She also leapt out of her chair, complained of cramp and started yawning during an interview with YouTube star KSI.
It continued on This Morning, with Holly also suffering from cramp and asking chef James Martin odd questions.
And on Loose Women, things went up a gear yet again with Jane Moore catching cramp and Charlene White complaining of a foul smell.
