THIS Morning fans were left stunned today when a caller said they were going to turn up at their childhood sweetheart’s wedding and wreck it.
The besotted man drew gasps from presenters Vernon Kay and Josie Gibson after admitting he wasn’t bothered what her bloke thinks and fantasised about winning her back.
He said he’d use the moment the vicar or officiant asks “does anyone have reasons this couple should not be married?” and plead with his ex to ditch her fiance and take him back.
Vernon explained the situation to viewers during the show’s phone-in segment and said: “This one is from Steve, we haven’t got Steve on the line but this is interesting.
“Steve said, ‘should I declare my love for her ex at her wedding?
“‘I was together with my childhood sweetheart from 16 to 21. We split up and she moved to Australia. She’s back in the UK and getting married on Saturday.
“‘Should I turn up to the wedding and declare my feelings or just leave it?'”
“I’m saying a big fat no to that,” relationship expert Rosie Green said.

“I mean I think it maybe works in the films … I think if he really loves her he’ll stay away, is my opinion, I don’t know what your opinions are!”
Vernon quipped: “Well weddings aren’t cheap.”
And Josie said with a naughty grin: “I would quite like to be there when he bursts through the door.
“I know that sounds awful but I’d love it.”
Vernon remarked that it would be like a scene out of EastEnders, but Rosie insisted Steve’s actions could only be driven by “ego” and said he showed no regard for his ex’s new life.
She added: “It depends whether he’s got any inkling whether she still loves him.
“Ultimately, it would be a very selfish thing to do. He has to look at his feelings, why he wants this person back so badly? It almost feels more about ownership than it does about true love.”
Viewers were just as surprised by today’s conundrum as Vernon and Josie, but some mischeviously suggested Steve should go through with it and charge You’ve Been Framed for a video.
One tweeted: “Steve, do it & you’ll get £500 from you’ve been framed if you film it”
Another said: “I hope Steve goes to the right Church.”
And a third said: “Steve forgot to mention he’s the vicar
”
And a fourth scoffed: “All us b*****ds egging Steve on lol
