Richard Arnold, who regularly appears on the ITV show, was on hand to discuss the latest news regarding the musician reports the Daily Star, when Kate butted in with a question which left her being forced to apologise.

Richard said: “Breaking Britney news from the gurus at TMZ. They are reporting in the last few hours that Britney has settled her divorce with ex Sam Asghari, almost a year after he pulled the plug on their marriage by filing for divorce."

He added: "The pair are said to filed a stipulated judgment," however he was soon cut-off by Kate. Interrupting him, she wanted to know more and quipped: “What’s that mean?”

The GMB entertainment editor turned to Kate and said: “I’m about to explain,” shutting her down. Red-faced, Kate said: “Ok I’ll shut up sorry,” as Richard replied: “Yes thank you Kate.”

Sam Asghari officially filed for divorce from pop sensation Britney last year, after the pair were married for 14 months. The former couple appeared loved-up since embarking on their relationship in 2017.

He popped the question to the hitmaker in 2021, and they tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Britney's California home on June 9, 2022. However after they were said to have 'grown apart' Sam lodged a divorce application in August 2023.

Sam only had good things to say about his former flame. He revealed: "It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on."
