In a year of political and social uncertainty, we have never needed laughs more – but luckily for us, the stars of daytime TV have been on hand to keep us (sometimes unintentionally) entertained.
ITV favourites This Morning, Loose Women, Lorraine and Good Morning Britain have continued to be suitably ridiculous in 2019 – and while some of you might have been at work and missed them, we’re celebrating another 12 months of hi-jinx with this special look back at some of the most ludicrous moments...
