This Morning hosts Craig Doyle and Josie Gibson explained that This Morning would be finishing at 12:15pm rather than its usual 12:30pm.
Craig explained: ‘The show is slightly shorter today because it’s Budget Day.
‘We are all going to be so much richer at the end of today,’ he joked.
Josie responded: ‘I hope so!’.
It comes after Loose Wiman panellist Frankie Bridge has revealed that she never travels on a train alone at night following a disturbing incident during a previous journey home.
During Friday’s show the former The Saturdays singer, 35, recalled how after a man made her feel ‘really uncomfortable’ she got off the nearest station, only to possibly put herself in further danger when she found herself stranded in the middle of nowhere.
During a discussion about women’s safety she said: ‘I live quite far outside London, so I will never get the train home on my own at night or after a night out, because [the carriage] gets quieter and quieter’.

‘And I have got off the train before of being on my own in a carriage with a man and he was acting strange and he made me really uncomfortable,’.
She continued: ‘But then I found myself in a position where I’d got off the train, I was in an area I didn’t know, that was quiet, it was dark, I didn’t know where to get a cab from,’.
‘And I was like ‘Now I am in an any safer situation?”.
