Speaking towards the end of the programme, Ben referenced Stephen's prankster persona as he told viewers: "We are trying to get Stephen Mulhern up, he's been there all morning but has been causing problems and now we've got a problem with the link.

Susanna added: "I'm so sorry to Stephen and his guests, we will try and catch up later in the week, we will make time for it."

Ben added that they may get Stephen and the children to pre-record the film, and it will be on ITV's website later today.

Stephen has not yet acknowledged the gaffe on his social media pages.
