Yes, really!
I have a small pet boarding business and yesterday I received a call to my business number from the Good Morning Britain producers asking if I had any gerbils I could bring into the studio. They seemed to think my business might also be a pet shop for some reason, and I informed them that it wasn't but that I did have pet gerbils. They asked if I wanted to bring them into the studio for a segment they were doing. However it wasn't really practical for me so I had to decline that opportunity. Details were pretty vague but I was told at the time that they were having some kind of debate involving gerbils and so wanted some in the studio.
The segment aired this morning and you can view it here (about 2 hours 20 minutes in). It turned out to be a discussion about whether you should have to take a test to own a pet. Sadly, the studio was distinctly gerbil-less.
So there you have it. Astra and Twiglet nearly ended up on Good Morning Britain, and on the same day as the Prime Minister no less! Twiglet would probably have hated to be fair but Astra has always craved the limelight!
