Kate, 57, was left pleading "come back" before warning viewers Good Morning Britain might be presented "by one" as the programme rolled to a commercial break.
Adil's tongue-in-cheek conduct came after a series of on-air blunders.
Shortly before his impromptu exit, he had been caught tapping away on his phone as the camera panned in on the presenters.
The ITV anchor, who looked smart in a navy blue suit paired with crisp white shirt, was then forced to apologise for his blunder and told viewers: "Sorry, I got caught off-guard."

Kate then joked: "He's about to jeopardise me!"
Shortly after, the pair turned their attention to river pollution following the news sewage spills had hit a five-year high.
As images of polluted waters played out on-screen, Adil then said: "Where I stay in London for this, the river near me, that's been affected."

Kate continued the banter as she said: "What that river near to you in London?" before bursting out laughing.
She added: "I don't know what's wrong with me this morning I've gone all giddy."
Turning talk back to the pollution, she said: "I know it's a worry," but Adil had already begun to make tracks.
He didn't reply and simply stared at the camera, before shuffling his papers and standing up.
Kate could be seen placing a hand on his arm to encourage him to stay as she said: "Don't walk out, don't walk out!
"You may be watching GMB which now has lessened by one.
"Come back!"
Yet his antics proved to be well and truly playful, with Adil sitting in his rightful presenting seat as the show returned after the break.
