William Shatner left âGood Morning Britainâ presenters Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard baffled, after giving a bizarre interview.
The former âStar Trekâ actor appeared on the ITV breakfast show on Friday (7 October) to speak about Europeâs largest âStar Trekâ convention, which is currently being held in Birmingham.
However, he caused chaos as he was interviewed via video link, blasting the hosts for not doing their research before getting their names wrong.
The interview began with some technical difficulties, with William remarking: âThis primitive place! Iâm among savages. Where am I?â
As Kate and Ben then asked him about his favourite episode, which William sarcastically replied to saying: âThatâs a very unusual question. Did you do research on that?â
Revealing the question had been sent in by a fan, Kate hit back saying: âDonât mock us!â
He then got confused about the pairâs names, asking if someone called Neil was there.
âNo, itâs Kate and Ben in the studio,â Ben replied.
âNeilâs not here? They told me Neil would be here.â
William ended the interview, saying: âLovely to chat to you... if thatâs what it was.â
A laughing Ben joked: âIâm going to get a drink, forget the Birmingham Convention.â
The showâs Twitter account made light of the interview after they went off air, joking:
Ben was also convinced William was having a laugh at his and Kateâs expense, adding:
The interview sparked quite the reaction from viewers too:
The actor has since taken to Twitter to explain why he appeared so confused during the chat, and itâs all because Ben and Kate werenât talking English, apparently...
