Good Morning Britain guest Keith Duffy pulls out
Today’s show was hosted by Adil Ray and Charlotte Hawkins, who ended up interviewing Brian on his own.
Charlotte immediately addressed the elephant in the room for viewers. “Well, Brian McFadden joins us now, good morning to you, and Keith was going to be here but we know he’s just had a bereavement so he’s not with us today,” she said.
Former Westlife singer Brian responded: “Yes, he was, he’s lost one of his friends, so he’s gone back to Ireland.”
Even though Keith has yet to publicly comment on the sad news, Charlotte said: “I’m sorry, sending our love in that case!”

On Instagram, the duo shared: “True heroes are closer than we think. Let this song be your reminder.”
