Antony Cotton was annoyed by the questions asked by Kate Garraway during an uncomfortable interview on Good Morning Britain.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Coronation Street actor Antony Cotton was joined by his on-screen son, Liam McCheyne, to discuss the ongoing bullying storyline in the ITV soap. The pair sat down with presenters Kate Garraway and Ben Shepherd to talk about the plot, which has seen Dylan and Mason team up to bully Liam Connor, a defenseless schoolboy. The storyline, which began last year, reached a peak this week when Liam's parents discovered that he was contemplating suicide.

As the interview progressed, Garraway brought up a previous topic discussed by entertainment editor Richard Arnold - the possibility of AI-generated scripts replacing traditional soap opera writers in the next five years. Garraway asked the actors for their thoughts on the matter, but Cotton responded with a dismissive comment, stating that he would rather talk about his campaign for free train travel for armed forces personnel.

Cotton, who was awarded an MBE in 2022 for his advocacy for soldiers and their mental health, seemed unimpressed when AI technology was mentioned. McCheyne, on the other hand, admitted that he was not up to date with such technology, as many people in his generation are not. Adding to the conversation, Cotton expressed his concern about society's growing fear of technology and the danger of losing human connection and emotion in storytelling.

As the conversation shifted to another topic - Corrie character Mary Taylor's obsession with GMB star Ben Shepherd - Cotton could be heard making a sarcastic remark. He then made one last attempt to steer the conversation towards his campaign before the show moved on to the weather update.

Despite the awkwardness, the interview ended on a lighter note as the presenters mentioned some trending news about the show, including a former cast member's night out and a character's unexpected exit. With a nod to the show's loyal fan base, the presenters mentioned that Corrie will not air tomorrow due to a football match, leaving viewers eagerly waiting for Monday's episode.
