Susanna Reid and Lorraine Kelly summed up Good Morning Britain viewers’ thoughts on Edwina Currie’s life-size cardboard cutout of Boris Johnson, with the puzzled presenters asking her why on earth it’s in her house.

The former Tory politician appeared on the ITV show after clashing with broadcaster Martin Lewis over his reference to the cost of living as a ‘catastrophe’.

However, the looming figure of Mr Johnson in the background of her home proved rather distracting.

‘Just before we carry on, do you have a cardboard cutout of Boris Johnson in your home?’ Susanna asked.

‘Erm, no he’s on his way up to Balmoral!’ Ms Currie joked.

Asking again, Susanna pressed: ‘Sorry, are you at home with a lifesize cardboard cutout of the Prime Minister?’

‘Oh, we had a fundraising party a month or two ago and he insisted on attending,’ Ms Currie explained.

Giggling next to Susanna, Martin responded: ‘Listen, at least he’s staying there so he’s got a role somewhere. Delighted to see it.’

Later on in the show, Lorraine was also a little preoccupied by the intriguing choice of decoration, asking: ‘Why would you have that?! I don’t understand.’

Elsewhere on GMB, Susanna and Martin discussed comedian Joe Lycett’s recent chaotic appearance on the BBC’s new flagship politics programme, Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg.

Susanna asked contributor Andrew Pierce why some were so rattled by Joe’s appearance, and asserted that he made ‘quite a point’ when he mocked Ms Truss saying in an interview that it would be wrong to predict the future.

‘Liz Truss says an interview [that] we don’t know what’s going to happen. We know exactly what’s happening,’ she said.

‘He made quite a funny quip about Rishi Sunak as well,’ Martin pointed out, referring to Joe saying that since Mr Sunak ‘is not going to be Prime Minister, so you may as well have interviewed Peter Andre.’

‘Exactly right!’ Susanna said, after the clip played.

‘You invite a comedian on a programme, expect them to do comedy,’ Martin asserted. ‘And whoever produced that, it was a big risk doing that on the first show when you have both the Prime Ministerial candidate and President Zelensky’s wife doing an interview.’

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
