Nick Ferrari Runs Late on This Morning, Then Says Tories Are 'On Life Support'

The slip-up came during the show's opening discussion of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester.

Overview

  • Ben Shephard told viewers Ferrari was "caught short" and needed the toilet between his LBC programme and the ITV show.
  • Ferrari later joined live from LBC Studios and greeted the hosts before joining the political chat.
  • He said the Conservative Party is "probably on life support," noting he had just spoken with Kemi Badenoch.
  • Rachel Johnson argued it was too early to write the party's obituary, though she said the gathering looked like a wake.
  • Viewers reacted on X to the on-air hiccup, and outlets including the Mirror and Daily Record relayed the exchange citing Wales Online.
