Good Morning Britain’s Andi Peters takes a tumble as he falls over in the snow while presenting segment in the freezing weather
Andi Peters got more than he bargained for during a segment on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain as he fell over in the snow while presenting from beside a river.
The TV presenter, 49, joined Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard via satellite from Ballymena, Northern Ireland where he was giving viewers a look at the heavy snowfall.
Speaking to Susanna and Ben, Andi said: ‘Can you see how amazing this river is? This whole thing is amazing, it’s a really beautiful part of the world.’

Impressed, Susanna replied: ‘It looks like a film set where we have CGI’d the river in behind you.’
Andi was struggling to come to grips wit the inclement weather, with Ben remarking: ‘Andi really wants us to stop so he can go inside.’
Andi, who was wrapped up in a black bomber jacket and a blue scarf replied: ‘Yeah, thanks,’ before he took a tumble and almost disappeared from the camera.
Susanna said: ‘Oh steady! Blimey. Then we would have found out if it was a real river or not.’

It comes after Andi recently took his first sick day in 20 years in January after he was struck down with the shingles.
Returning to screens for a competition segment, the presenter said: ‘Yes I am back. Thanks for all the people who have sent me messages.
‘Susanna sent me some texts, thanks Susanna for wishing me well. Ranvir (Singh) sent me some fruit. Thank you so much.

‘Alex (Beresford) didn’t send me anything, not even a text. So forget it!’ as a visibly awkward Alex watched on.
‘Piers (Morgan) also got in touch, but what did he say? He said he almost misses me so that’s good enough for me! ‘
Discussing his time on sick leave he said: ‘I would say I’m back to 90 per cent, that’s good enough to be here.
‘Thank you to everyone who has sent me a text. It’s amazing when you have shingles that you can share the story with others.
‘You just have to listen to your body, it’s horrible. I had 12 days off! It’s so bizarre. I’ve watched so much of The West Wing! It feels like I’m at home again.’
