As Melvin Odoom wrapped the showbiz section on Good Morning Britain, Ed and Charlotte were treated to an old video of her earlier TV appearances.
The video was taken from a fashion segment on This Morning. Charlotte was laughing at the clip, exclaiming: “There’s a reason people don’t see that!”
Ed then asked the viewers: “Has Charlotte aged well or badly?”
But then he gave his own opinion, with shocking comments. He told her: “I think you have aged beautifully. You almost look younger now than then. Back then, you were a bit more podgy.”
Charlotte initially looked shocked at the comments, but tried to laugh it off.
However, Melvin wasn’t impressed, warning Ed to “move on” from that conversation. Charlotte then turned to look at Ed with her hand on her hip, shocked at what he had said.
