This Morning guest sparks chaos by failing to show up to ITV show

This Morning viewers have taken to social media after spotting that Chris Evans seemingly pulled out of his appearance on the ITV show. The radio presenter was teased to appear in Friday's episode alongside Strictly's Chris McCausland to promote his festival CarFest.

However, some viewers pointed out that he was no longer being mentioned when the show began on Friday, with Chris McCausland being interviewed alone by Jake Quickenden at the festival.

Viewers took to social media to point out the last-minute change. One wrote: "Interesting, something's changed since yesterday's promo. They said Chris Evans was coming on to talk cars with Chris McCausland today #thismorning."

He later said: "Yep, Chris Evans has definitely pulled out of this, they said yesterday he was going to be on along with Chris McCausland #thismorning."

Another joked about the situation, writing: "Quickenden: 'What brought you to CarFest?' McCausland: 'Chris Evans asked me to be here. Now he's p****d off and left me to it.'"

The Mirror has reached out to ITV and Chris Evans for comment.

The Virgin Radio presenter has undoubtedly had his hands full with CarFest beginning today at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire. The weekend-long event will see a number of acts perform, including Rita Ora, Busted, Sam Ryder, Squeeze and The Pussycat Dolls' Kimberly Wyatt.

Meanwhile, the likes of Chris McCausland, David Walliams, Ben Miller, Su Pollard and Sir Chris Hoy will be speaking on the Star Fest stage.

Chris posted a video from Laverstoke Park Farm to the Virgin Radio UK socials this morning before broadcasting live from the event at 6am. "This is the only moment in the whole weekend that I can get around my whole festival," he said, filming early in the morning.

Earlier this year, the broadcaster broke down on air while paying tribute to the late F1 legend Eddie Jordan.

Eddie died in March aged 76 after a battle with bladder and prostate cancer. Paying tribute to the racing star, Chris became emotional as he described him as a "real liver of life".

"Eddie sang from the hymn sheet that says, ‘Live life as deeply as you can every single day, every single day.’ Because Eddie lived a thousand lifetimes and he was a real liver of life," he said.

"And if you really are a liver of life, then life loves you for it and gives you more. And if you live like that on the daily 24/7, 365 days a year then you have no regrets as far as that aspect of the opportunity of being a human is concerned and Eddie left nothing on the pitch, or should I say track."
