Susanna warned: “We are having a minor issue with some of our music.” Piers said: “We were told two minutes ago that nobody may hear us throughout the entire programme, which would obviously be a little disappointing.”
However, ITV attempted to fix the problem and prioritised the host’s microphones to ensure fans would still be able to hear them throughout the show.
Susanna added: “They prioritised our microphones, which we are very grateful for but some of the background noise might be missing.”
Piers revealed: “Some of the bells and whistles will not be available to your ears for a while.” What’s more, Piers addressed being cleared by Ofcom after racking up more than 3,200 complaints over two interviews with MP Helen Whately.
During one of the chats, Piers questioned the Care Minister about how many people are dying in care homes during the current coronavirus crisis. But Helen claimed he was interrupting her too much.
The MP said: “I’ve been quite straight with you and others I have spoken to that we know people are dying in care homes and we know more people than usual are dying in care homes. The problem is, you just keep on interrupting me.”
However, Piers hit back and claimed the Care Minister “didn’t have any answers”.
However, Ofcom decided not to investigate the claims, but the 55-year-old presenter claimed the abuse came from “Brexiteers”.
He added: “All the abuse I’m getting is from Brexiteers as though I’m somehow betraying the cause. A – I didn’t even want Brexit in the first place, and B – I did actually campaign for you to get your Brexit when people tried to stop it from happening.”
