Good Morning Britain halted for a breaking news announcement on Friday morning - and it was terrible news for Sir Keir Starmer's Labour government. It comes as energy regulator Ofgem has announced a change in the price cap.

Originally, the ITV show, hosted by Kate Garraway and Adil Ray, suggested that the price cap is set to dip by just one per cent, meaning families in Great Britain were set to expect a small fall in their energy bills from January. Reporter Jonathan Swain explained that "bills have a big impact on all of us" but with energy "bills are still sky high for people around the country." He went on: "But bills are expected to be lower from January, saving on average around £22 per year, but then they are expected to go back up in April by about £75. So there is a yo-yo of pricing. But that's not great, is it?" Martin Lewis also appeared on the report and said that the one per cent change would be "no big deal" and it would be best for people to change to a fixed rate tariff.

However, in a surprising change of events, less than an hour later GMB halted for breaking news once more as Charlotte announced that the price cap would actually be going up instead.

She explained that it means that families across Great Britain can expect a small increase of 0.2 per cent in their energy bills from January, rather than a decrease.

Jonathan then shared that the changes will be costing most families on average an extra 28p per month in their energy bills.

"Although it is still going to be a little bit lower than it was this time last year," he added. "What we need is stability. Or an extra jumper."

Fans of the ITV show were outraged by the news. Posting to X/Twitter, one fumed: "Absolutely f***in thrilled that my energy bill will now be £20 a year cheaper that's a saving of £1.67 a month but hold on it's going to rise again by £75 in May/June. They really are taking the p*** out of us all."

Another one said: "Two days ago we were told energy bills were going down. Now the highest electricity prices in the world are getting even more expensive. @ofgem should be abolished. Clearly not fit for purpose."

"So why was there a forecasted dip? Why has an increase been announced? Something stinks," a third noted while a fourth complained: "Labour making the poor poorer AGAIN."
