This Morning was left scrambling for another guest after Prime Minister Theresa May pulled out last minute.
Host Phillip Schofield said that he was "sorry to disappoint viewers" but said that they had been told "all would become clear but it hasn’t yet".
He said: "We’ve been telling you to expect the prime minister on our sofa and we’re going to have to disappoint you.
"We were told this morning that all would become clear, it hasn’t yet. But obviously the reason she isn’t here today is to do with Brexit. And so she’s not able to be here but she has promised that the first sit down interview she’s going to do.
"She’s sent her apologies but she’s said hopefully next week she’ll be able to do the chat. So I assume during the course of today it will unfold as to why she’s not here."
Last night, Theresa May flew to Brussels to hammer out the final details with Jean-Claude Juncker – but there was no final deal agreed at the ‘afternoon tea’ meeting.
Mrs May flew to Brussels with fresh demands from her own MPs to rewrite the deal still ringing in her ears.
Tory backbenchers lined up to demand changes, with Jeremy Corbyn warning her the draft withdrawal agreement was “dead.”
And the DUP accused Mrs May of ‘deleting’ protections for Northern Ireland from the deal.
Germany’s ambassador warned Chancellor Angela Merkel could pull out of Sunday’s summit of EU leaders if the final document were not published by tomorrow morning.
