Plenty of viewers took to Twitter to discuss Charlotte’s dress.

One said: “The camera crew when they saw charlotte’s dress this morning,” alongside a GIF showing someone being blinded by a bright light.

“I have to turn off as it’s hurting my eyes,” another viewer said.

However, not everyone was critical of Charlotte’s outfit.

@CharlotteHawkns a lovely ray of sunlight in that dress looking beautiful,” one viewer wrote. 

@CharlotteHawkns @GMB your yellow dress is cheering me up so much this morning. Where is it from?” another tweeted.

“That nice yellow dress looks lovely on Charlotte today. Very summery,” a third said.

What else happened on Good Morning Britain this week?

Charlotte’s dress isn’t the only thing that’s had GMB viewers talking this week.

Earlier in the week, Lionesses star Chloe Kelly appeared on the show to talk about England Women‘s Euro 2022 victory.

At the end of the interview, Richard Madeley called Chloe “Coco“, a nickname he has for his own daughter, Chloe Madeley.

It’s safe to say that the incident made many a viewer uncomfortable.

“Richard calling that lioness footballer the same nickname he calls his daughter is just creepy and totally inappropriate. She’s called Chloe, not Coco!” one viewer tweeted.

“I’m still trying to get my head round why Richard Madeley felt it was appropriate to call Chloe Kelly, ‘Coco’ just because that’s what he calls his daughter?!?” another wrote.
