Phillip Schofield has admitted that Lauren Harries has been banned from This Morning after making her ridiculous appearance yesterday.

Harries had a sex change in 2001 and was invited to appear on the programme after recent news stories about transgender children.

However Lauren went a little bit mad, her melt down begins around 9 minutes where she does a bizarre impression of a Little Britain character, out of the blue and for no apparent reason.

“What a shame that Lauren did her cause no good at all,” said Schofield. “You just never know what’s next do you?

“Sadly [Lauren] let herself down a bit on the show today by behaving in a most peculiar fashion. Certainly didn’t advance understanding. We will regroup, recast and try again. I really want to hear more from the doctor who was on with her. He was a little bemused!

“She did an ‘Anne’ from Little Britain! Maybe it was a dare. Spectacularly inappropriate and very silly… If I wasn’t so cross at the wasted opportunity to advance public perception I think I would laugh at the utter madness of it all.

“Oh well, she won’t be on This Morning again. I hope the doctor will come back, though… but with a more sensible spokesperson.”
