Spencer Matthews apologised to ‘Good Morning Britain’ viewers for his "wooden performance".
The former ‘Made In Chelsea’ star joined the ITV breakfast show’s showbiz team this week as a temporary replacement for current Entertainment Editor Richard Arnold, but his first appearance as a showbiz reporter didn’t impress a lot of people watching.
Responding to the critics, he later posted on Instagram: "Such a huge amount of respect for people who regularly present live television – it’s a skill and it’s not easy.
"Had my first go this morning on @gmb and it’s safe to say that it didn’t go so well… Apologies for my lack of experience and wooden performance. I’ll loosen up and get better with time, hopefully!"
Spencer joined Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway – who are hosting together while Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid are on holiday – on the show, with viewers taking to social media to voice their thoughts.
One said: "#GMB Spencer Matthews car crash tv with that autocue, he couldn’t sit still"
The reality star will be disappointed after previously revealing how big a fan of the show he is, and how excited he was to take on the new challenge.
He said: "I’m so excited to join the GMB team this Monday and bring all the latest entertainment gossip, although not talking about myself might feel odd!
"I’m an avid viewer of the programme as I am up early with my newborn and nothing prepares you for the day quite like watching Piers Morgan’s brilliant rants – of which both my son Theodore and I are fans. See you on Monday!"
