Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh left viewers shocked after her unexpected confession in the toilet.
Together with weather presenter Laura Tobin, 41, GMB put the spotlight on reservoir water levels and taps running dry.
The 45-year-old ITV presenter, who replaced regular presenter Susanna Reid on Thursday’s episode, told viewers how she could save water.
Ranvir told co-host Ben Shephard, “I don’t know what we were talking about last year, but I said, in our house, if it’s a puddle, we don’t flush it during the day.
‘If there are no people – if only we are at home. No, we don’t.’

She added, “And then it was interesting because some of my friends said, ‘That’s kind of weird, but we stopped doing that too.’
‘Because as you hear… just flush the toilet.
“It’s kind of a change in thinking, it’s something that we take for granted that we think will always be there.”
Fans were quick to respond on Twitter, with one writing: “Ranvir’s house must smell like p**s in this hot weather…”
Another wrote: ‘Eh, yes, I don’t Ranvir’
A third added: ‘Now she’s telling us not to flush the sh*tter’
Another said: ‘Our precious water must be brought back under our control as soon as possible’
Ranvir recently recalled how she was once left sobbing in a park with her toddler son Tushaan after being suspended by ITV.
The presenter, 45, who is now one of the channel’s top stars, was heartbroken after ‘giving up everything’ for the channel and leaving a comfortable job at the BBC.
Speaking of the difficult time on the Sliding Doors podcast, Ranvir said: ‘I had a very secure job at the BBC, with a pension and everything.

Fans were quick to respond on Twitter, with one writing: “Ranvir’s house must smell like p**s in this hot weather…”
“I was headhunted to go to ITV. So I’m giving up this whole safe life with the BBC and my friends and my life in Manchester to essentially move to London for a contract’.
Ranvir, who shares her boy, now 10, with ex-husband Ranjeet, continued: ‘It was a two-year contract. But I always remember being in the BBC newsroom and watching the little television and thinking, ‘I want to know what it’s like to be there [on national TV]’
After giving up her career at a regional news station to work on a national platform, she soon found herself running out of a job.
“I’m here, 15 months into the job. The program is getting a whole rebrand and I’m not part of their plans.
“I found out at 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. and the email was gone.”
But when she found herself sobbing with her son, she received a very important call.
“I’m sitting in a park crying with my little boy and my phone rings and it’s John Stapleton – a longtime GMTV presenter.”
“He told me not to complain, to go ahead and do my job.”

Despite being told by bosses that her career had ‘plateauted’, Ranvir rejected the idea and soon found herself being offered a Saturday presenting gig.
Less than two months later, she was asked to host the News at Ten, before hosting GMB and replacing Lorraine Kelly on her self-titled show.
An ITV spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Ranvir’s comments related to a moment early in her career, some 11 years ago, when she first moved to ITV’.
She has continued to work for ITV since she first came on in 2012 and as viewers will know she is currently a main presenter on ITV formats in the program including GMB, Lorraine, ITV News and Quiz Show which is soon to be on its second series go’ .
