This Morning fans didn't appear too thrilled as they made an observation after Jay Blades and Roman Kemp both appeared on the show. But the issue wasn't with the guest as such. Both The Repair Shop star and Capital FM DJ appeared live on the ITV daytime programme on Tuesday (October 18) to chat to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.

It was previously revealed that King Charles will appear on the much-loved programme, filmed before he became monarch following the late Queen's death last month.

He added: "So I went up there, filmed with him, and it was just a joy because basically, someone like me, from a council estate, and someone like him, from the Royal estate, we’ve both have the same interest."

Later in the show, Roman appeared live on the famous sofa
