Her shoes finally on, Derbyshire then got into place and apologised to viewers.

“Sorry about that delay, good morning,” she said, before she swiftly started to deliver the news.

Viewers were intrigued about the wardrobe malfunction and started pondering it on Twitter.

And when one person asked the star about the mishap, she replied: “Oh God, I couldn’t get my very high heels on.”

Derbyshire also shared a snap of the stilettos, which were black with tassles on the back.

Fans were thoroughly amused, with many posting messages on Twitter saying it gave them a good "chuckle”.

“This is the best news today!” posted one.

“Go for flatter shoes Victoria. Also better for your feet,” one viewer suggested.

Fellow journalist Samira Ahmed chimed in: “I can personally testify that the phenomenon (and associated hazards) of female presenters putting on very high heeled ‘TV shoes’ just to 'walk' a handful of steps around the studio floor is a real thing.

"VERY nice shoes, btw, Victoria.”
