GMB's Andi Peters 'falls' live on air as host Susanna Reid left alarmed
Andi Peters nearly fell off the side of an infinity pool on Good Morning Britain today.
The competition king was presenting the new segment from Majorca today, where he revealed to the show's hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid about what viewers could win as they kicked off a brand new competition.
He was presenting live via video link from sunny Majorca, a contrast to the rainy UK, when he appeared standing on top of the edge of an infinity pool with the crystal clear seas behind him.
As he tried to get off the platform, he ended up nearly falling off, leaving Susanna and Ed alarmed.

As he chatted to Susanna and Ed, he made sounds like he was falling off as he tried to keep his balance.
"Hopefully you can see just how stunning this location is, and it's the kind of place you can come to if you win our prize," he said, before introducing the details of the prize available to viewers at home.
The cameras then returned to Andi as he attempted to get off the pool and back to dry land.
"The sun is shining, but I'm going to have to leave this pool, and it's going to be so difficult," he said, "I'm so nervous." It was then that he fell towards the blue abyss and for a moment, Susanna and Ed thought something might happen.

Andi has been presenting the competitions on the ITV daytime shows for a while now, but is unable to call them life-changing under strict rules from show bosses. ITV insist that prizes of £100,000 or less are not life-changing, with the broadcasting conglomerate fearing that a winner might sue them if their life doesn't change as a result of the cash prize.
Speaking about his own response, he said: "And I always argue saying 'I'm really sorry, £3,000 changed her life, she doesn't have to get the bus to work anymore, so for her it was life changing'. And it is all subjective. What is any sum of money?
"Six years ago, we gave away £1million and they wouldn't let me call the £1m life changing because – this is exactly what the lawyer said – 'if Richard Branson won, it wouldn't change his life'. So we argued back and said 'no, it would change his life, because in that minute he would be a £1m richer. That is life changing'. Wouldn't let us say it. I took this all the way. I went all the way to the top."
