ITV's Good Morning Britain halted as 'breaking news' announcement interrupts live show

Ranvir Singh dramatically intervened during Good Morning Britain with a titillating breaking news update that's sure to excite Glastonbury goers across the nation.

In an unexpected twist, the TV presenter abruptly halted regular broadcasting to divulge the first confirmed act for next year's Glastonbury Festival. Ranvir announced that the legendary Sir Rod Stewart is ready to dazzle attendees with his performance.

Before this surprise revelation, ITV viewers had been engrossed in the tale of a cat named John who found himself trapped inside a drain pipe, which instigated the rescue efforts of the fire brigade. That was when the alert flickered across the screen and Ranvir declared the entertainment scoop.

She announced: "A bit of breaking entertainment news for you, so Sir Rod Stewart has been announced that he'll be playing Glastonbury in the legends slot at the festival next year."

The presenter went on to add: "It's actually 23 years since his last appearance at Worthy Farm in Somerset.", reports the Mirror.

This announcement follows closely on the heels of the singer's own admission that though he is 79th, he intends to wind down but not bow out of performing completely.

Sir Rod recently disclosed his decision to cease "large-scale world tours" after next year. Echoing the path taken by other musical heavyweights like Elton John, he appears set to conclude his international performances with a flourish, having secured a coveted spot at next year's Glastonbury.

Elaborating on his enthusiasm about returning to grace the festival's stage, Rod took to his personal X account, once known as Twitter, to spread the word himself.

With his vast experience and no intention of hanging up his microphone, the performance is shaping up to be unforgettable. Just recently, he tweeted: "This will be the end of large scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire."

"I love what I do and I do what I love. I'm fit, have a full head of hair, and cam run 100 meters in 18b seconds at the jolly age of 79. Rod is only the first act to be confirmed for the event that will take place on Worthy Farm in Somerset from 25 to 29 June."

Speculation is rife about potential headliners, with names like Sam Fender, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Wonder, Eminem, and Charli XCX all being tossed around as possible stars for the much-anticipated festival.
