Good Morning Britain raised a few eyebrows from viewers on Wednesday morning as the set was ‘invaded’ by dinosaurs.
In celebration of the latest Jurassic World film starring Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, animatronic dinosaurs made an appearance on the GMB set on June 18.
‘Bumpy’ and a velociraptor from The Jurassic World Experience at NEON in Battersea Power Station appeared on the show and caused a little chaos, baffling viewers just tuning in.
Susanna Reid, Richard Madeley and Richard Arnold welcomed the dinosaurs on set and chatted with the ‘handlers’ about what visitors can enjoy at the London attraction.
The hosts were then ‘shocked’ to find that a velociraptor had escaped its cage and crashed onto set, appearing behind the presenting panel.
After thanking the ‘handlers’ for coming in, and attempting to stroke the velociraptor, Richard joked: ‘Is anyone else missing Piers?’ eliciting laughs from the whole panel.
On social media, fans watching the show expressed their disinterest with many sharing how impressed they were with the childish content.
‘Baby bumpys … give me a break #GMB,’ said stevebristoluk.
‘Talking to adults about a puppet dinosaur like they’re children 🤦♂️🤦♂️ #GMB,’ said FanOfTV05.
Man_In_England commented that the show was comparable to the BBC’s children’s channel: ‘#GMB turned into CBBC.’
Others were slightly more impressed by the change in the format, some enjoying the lighthearted change of tone.
‘That dinosaur robot thing is adorable! Make it a regular guest #GMB,’ said TheRealZoeMBE.
‘That’s not just any dinosaur…that’s Blue! @GMB#gmb,’ said EvTayWill20, referencing the first Jurrassic Park movie with Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.
This isn’t the first time that GMB has baffled fans with its surprising content lineup.
A chaotic interview in May saw Richard Arnold interview Daddy Pig, a cartoon from the TV series Peppa Pig.
During the interview, which is the first since the birth of the latest Peppa Pig character Evie, Daddy Pig got a little emotional and cried as he introduced the world to his daughter.
On X, a number of people were quite scathing about the report, with some criticising the show for reporting ‘drivel’ and focusing on a made-up cartoon story rather than real news stories.
James Abbott01 commented on X: ‘Ofcom phones are ringing right now [to] complain is about Peppa Pig on #GMB… I’m being serious, viewers are not happy about Good Morning Britain talking to a cartoon’.
InformeOculto added: ‘More Peppa Pig drivel… Who exactly is this for?’
