It's an age-old question.... can men and women ever truly be friends? And it was the hot topic of debate on Good Morning Britain this morning with Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins opening up the conversation with two reality show stars.
Both Love Island's Zara Lackenby-Brown and Gogglebox's Tom Malone joined the hosts for a lighthearted chat on the subject, with both offering differing points of view. Zara believed that they can't, declaring that "all of my close male friendships in the past have tried it on with me." Tom, however, felt differently, insisting that his dancing career, involving mostly women, meant that he has had plenty of platonic friendships with the opposite sex.
It was Zara's comments in particular that riled GMB viewers, with many shocked at her attitude. One said: "I wonder if she gets a lot of attention because she’s just an attention seeker that’s desperate to be on TV." Another laughed with an emoji and said: "'I'm gorgeous so why wouldn't any bloke fancy me!?'" with another quipping, "Soon she'll have to stay in for fear of men just falling at her feet in the streets!" mocking Zara's opinion.
Plenty more followed including slating for the show with many questioning GMB on their "slow news day" and questioned, "Can TV news shows ever report some news?" The pair, who admitted they were both single, were then fair game for a jovial Ben Shephard, who proceeded to play cupid and attempted to matchmake the pair. Gogglebox fave, Tom, split from his girlfriend, Bryony Briscoe at the start of the year after dating since 2020 and moving in together in Leeds.The star revealed that he was moving back to Manchester and the pair unfollowed one another on Instagram.
