Fans are being ‘sent into orbit’ at ‘bored’ Dermot O’Leary during This Morning interview
Fans weren’t able to believe their eyes at a Dermot O’Leary interview in which he yawns and stretches, as viewers labelled him ‘bored’.
The interview took place on a recent episode of ITV’s This Morning in which O’Leary interviewed a The Only Way is Essex star on her appearances in Dancing on Ice.
Ferne McCann took to the This Morning couch to be interviewed by the pair, but O’Leary seemed uninterested and ‘bored’, according to fans.
Viewers picked up on this and have been rushing to social media to share their thoughts since.

O’Leary carried out the first few minutes of the interview as normal.
Hammond then asks about McCann’s family and being away from them for the show, when O’Leary starts yawning and then begins stretching.
He eventually chimes in with ‘yeah lovely’ when McCann reveals this is the first show she has done that her young daughter is able to watch.
One comment on the video on TikTok said: “I thought this was gonna be an exaggeration but him stretching like he just woke sent me into orbit.”
Another suggested that the topic of conversation should have been enough to keep him engaged.
They commented: “I don't trust anyone who doesn't look bored during this kind of conversation.”
A third fan commented: “I think it’s hilarious. He’s visibly not interested lol.’”
One comment posited a theory as to why he suddenly goes ‘yeah lovely’ during the interview, saying: “They have shouted at him in his ear piece and he's had to speak lol.”
Though the exact reason cannot be confirmed, it is not the best look for O’Leary, who has not yet addressed the incident at the time of writing.
McCann is currently starring in ITV’s Dancing On Ice, appearing alongside fellow celebs Anton Ferdinand, Chris Taylor, Steve Redgrave, and Mollie Pearce.
She spoke about her time on the show in the interview, saying: “It was the perfect time with finishing my reality show at the end of the year last year and just to go onto such a fantastic production.
“It's such a fantastic show, it's magical.
“I genuinely can't believe [her progress on the ice], the progression is crazy. I started off not being able to ice skate whatsoever and feeling really frustrated because I was like 'how am I ever going to get this?’
“I really just had to surrender and trust the process.”
She became emotional in her performance on the first episode, earning a score of 26.5.
On the verge of tears, she said afterwards: “I feel really emotional, I’ve got tiny tears. I’m just so happy, I really enjoyed it.”
