“I blame Elton John for this,” the presenter said as she opened Tuesday's This Morning.
Holly Willoughby and Dermot O'Leary looked rather uncomfortable as Gino made a nod to the ongoing headlines.
From playing a board game classic with Alison Hammond to getting tongue-tied with Reggie Yates.
The pair took the helm of the ITV daytime show on Monday, following claims of a toxic workplace and Phillip Schofield's affair admission.
"A huge thank you to Phil for what he’s done to make this show such a success over the last 21 years."
“I had no idea the level of disruption audiences were causing and tried to make light of the topic... and for that I’m truly sorry," the This Morning presenter said.
The pair have hosted This Morning together each Friday since January 2021.
"It was so shameful... it's so embarrassing!"
"When you get called a 'b****' live on air."
Alison was quick to apologise after her co-host used a less-than-daytime-friendly term to describe her.
