Gethin Jones Delivers Unfortunate News to BBC Morning Live Audience
On January 26, 2026, Gethin Jones delivered unexpected news to viewers of BBC Morning Live. The program, co-hosted by Jones and Louise Minchin, returned with guest appearances from various individuals, including Nick Stapleton, who discussed banking fraud. During the show, they hinted at an interview with the champions of the popular reality series, The Traitors.
Postponement of The Traitors Interview
About an hour into the broadcast, Gethin Jones interrupted to inform the audience that the highly anticipated interview would not take place as scheduled. He stated, “We were hoping to bring you an interview with the winner or winners of The Traitors on the show this morning. Unfortunately, we’ve had to postpone this morning but we will bring it to you later down the line.” Louise Minchin added, “We will give you a spoiler alert because we will tell you when they’re coming on the show.”
Previous Discussions and Anticipation
This update followed a playful exchange between Jones and BBC Breakfast anchors Jon Kay and Sally Nugent. During this interaction, Gethin humorously admonished Jon for almost revealing pivotal information regarding The Traitors finale. Although Morning Live had to postpone the segment with the winners, ITV’s This Morning was set to feature joint champion Stephen Libby soon after.
