filming, revealing he had never actually watched the programme before appearing on it.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the interview, Spence complimented Garraway on her voluminous blonde hair and asked why she had never done an advert for hair products, adding: \u2018Every morning I watch you and think \u2018she\u2019s worth it\u2019,\u2019 he said while mimicking a hair flip with his bald head.<\/p>\n<p>Garraway then explained that she is not \u2018allowed\u2019 to endorse products with brand deals, given that it\u2019s a conflict of interest with their impartiality as news journalists.<\/p>\n<p>Spence then became faux outraged and referred to the <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2025\/05\/20\/lorraine-hours-slashed-huge-itv-daytime-tv-shake-23124658\/\">huge upcoming
