Ed Balls, the host of Good Morning Britain, made a major gaffe when he questioned Andi Peters if she used spray tan.
During Tuesday’s episode, the former MP, 56, and co-host Susanna Reid, 52, addressed their feelings about the treatment and fielded questions from guests like Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire.
The camera did a split screen of Andi in Rome while presenting their daily competition part.
‘Spray tan, Andi,’ Ed said.
Clearly caught aback, the TV personality motioned with his arms and said, ‘What do you think Ed?’
Andi remarked, before laughing at the event, ‘I’ve been like this….’
In an attempt to make light of the situation, Susanna interjected: ‘He didn’t want to presume.’
Before addressing the rules of the competition, Andi replied: ‘Ed, the money I’ve spent for 52 years looking like this, if there’s anyone from L’Oréal, Garnier, any of them watching, I’ve invested a lot in your company.’
The hosts weren’t the only ones trying to see the funny side of the situation, with one viewer tweeting: ‘Ed ball asking Andi if he uses spray tan is the funniest thing on the show since piers walked off.’
‘”Spraytan, Andi?” Nearly spat my coffee across the room,’ another added.

A third person weighed in: ‘Did Ed Balls really just ask Andi Peters if he has a SPRAY TAN??’
On the morning programme, Ed is known for his, um, unusual remarks.
Ed and Susanna reminisced about the day EastEnders actor Danny Dyer made a lasting impact on an episode of the ITV morning programme in March.
‘We do love Danny Dyer on this programme,’ Susanna began.
‘He caused quite a stir didn’t he when he was talking about Brexit.’
Ed curiously asked: ‘I was here, he used the T word, are we allowed to say that this early?’
Despite the fact that the profanity was on the Ofcom list, the former Strictly Come Dancing star decided to give it a shot.
‘So you can’t say t**t?’ he said.
Susanna, donning a classic mum look, quickly quipped: ‘You do know we are on air don’t you?’
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
