Kate Garraway crashes into GMB set as she attempts to ride bike live on air

She's practicing for a charity bike ride

Kate Garraway accidentally crashed into the Good Morning Britain set as she attempted to ride a bike on air.

On Friday’s show, the presenter decided to get some practice in as she’s taking part in the Palace to Palace charity ride, which will see the GMB team complete a 45-mile bike ride from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle to raise money for The Prince’s Trust.

Kate put on a black and green lycra one piece over the top of her outfit and hopped onto the bike.

The star even revealed she hasn’t ridden a bike since she was 14 years old.

Charlotte Hawkins asked: “Are you going to try the bike?” as Kate looked over at two bikes parked in the studio.

Kate replied: “I thought they were props. Can you [Ben Shephard] help me on please?”

Her co-star Ben Shephard walked over and helped Kate get onto the bike.

Charlotte shouted: “Put your helmet on! You need your helmet on Kate.”

Kate then began to ride the bike before almost falling off.

Ben exclaimed: “You’ve got brakes! Who’s idea was this by the way?”

Kate said: “It’s coming back to me,” to which Charlotte joked: “It clearly isn’t.”

Kate then accidentally crashed into the set’s wall.

As the camera zoomed in, she said: “Go away! Please, I’ve lost all dignity!”

Charlotte quipped: “We’re not watching don’t worry. No-one’s watching.”

Ben asked: “How are you going to get off it?” to which Kate admitted: “I don’t know. It’s going to be tricky.”

The producer then tried to help Kate off the bike.

As she finally managed to get off, Kate said: “Well that went well. I might see if I can borrow that [bike] so I can practice this weekend because I’m not sure if that went as well as any of us hoped.”

Viewers were left in hysterics with one person writing on Twitter: “Love it Kate,” followed by laughing face emojis.

Another said: “Brightened up my morning, think Kate better get a set of training wheels for the bike ride.”

A third added: “@kategarraway @GMB actually crying with laughter this morning. Thank you. A great start to the day. Kate as Austin Powers riding a bike in 6 inch heels. Love it!”
