“We’ve been telling you to expect the Prime Minister on our sofa and we’re going to have to disappoint,” Schofield said.

“We were told this morning that all would become clear. But obviously the reason she’s not here today is to do with Brexit.”

He said the Prime Minister “promised” This Morning her “first sit-down interview”, adding: “Hopefully next week she’ll be able to do the chat she was going to do today.”
