'What's next, Ninja Warrior?'

Good Morning Britain fans have joked that the royal family are using Kate Middleton and her piano playing to distract from the Prince Andrew furore.

Of course, Kate surprised the nation when she joined Tom Walker on piano ahead of Christmas on Royal Carols: Together at Christmas.

Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is waiting to find out if the sex assault case against him will be thrown out of court.

And, after singer Tom Walker appeared GMB to speak about the duet, viewers started cracking jokes.
