Richard started talking about Christmas as he revealed brands are beginning to look at their festive advertisements, despite the holiday being months away. He asked: "Is it too early for some festive joy? Why not?!"

"Please, no! Please!" Ranvir responded as she held her head in her hands.

"I know, it's too early for me, too," Richard admitted. "Mariah, back in the box. We need to frock up for Halloween first!"

The GMB star went on to reveal that actress Aimee Lou Wood, star of Sex Education and The White Lotus, has landed herself a brand deal for the festive season, according to new reports.

"But the battle has begun for the Christmas ad already. It's only 28 weeks away! But one brand has reportedly recruited Aimee Lou Wood already, to not just be the star of any ad, she'll be the star of an M&S ad," he excitedly told Ranvir and Ed.

Richard concluded: "The White Lotus actress will be picking up from Dawn French and her fairy alter-ego, and filming will start later this month."

Still in shock over the mention of Christmas, Ranvir exclaimed: "Well, good for her!" with Richard adding: "Yes, exactly. Cha-ching!"

Elsewhere on Thursday's edition of Good Morning Britain, Ed and Ranvir interviewed ex-Love Island contestant Faye Winter, who found fame on the winter edition of the show in 2021, about her "terrifying" botched cosmetic procedures as the government considers proposing new laws regarding aesthetic practitioners.

The presenting duo also sat down with film producer Yavar Abbas, with the 105-year-old discussing his life and career, including his three marriages and his age.

This Morning favourite Josie Gibson later joined Ranvir and Ed on the GMB sofa, as she discussed her new ITV series, which sees her transform her Somerset home into an eco-friendly haven with the help of her family and friends.
