Peter Fords Eyepatch Stuns Viewers Live On Air

Peter Ford sparked the concern of Sunrise co-host Matt 'Shirvo' Shirvington on Monday.

'I feel as stupid as I look, Shirvo,' the showbiz reporter said, pointing to the large black eyepatch before adding, 'So please ignore that.'

Shirvington then thanked Ford for 'turning up' as he battled his eye issue. 

As Ford finished his segment, Shirvington asked the veteran for a health update.

'It will be fine in time, thank you,' Ford said. 

Shirvington then joked he liked the eyepatch look.

Ford later appeared on The Morning Show and shared a screenshot of his segment with hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies on his X profile.

He accompanied his post with a humorous caption referencing Blofeld, a James Bond villain known for a large scar on one eye.

'I had the choice of looking quite ridiculous on The Morning Show or like Blofeld from the Bond movies. Blofeld lost,' he said. 

Ford also confirmed that his eye issue did not require surgery after one person on his thread asked about the eyepatch.

'I'm fine. I'm just ugly,' he joked. 

It comes after one of Ford's Sunrise co-stars recently shared a wild moment from early in her career.

Katie Brown told how she accidentally inhaled cannabis smoke on live TV during her years as a junior reporter with Nine.

The Seven presenter, 34, shared a throwback video of the incident on Instagram on Thursday, showing her younger self standing near a pile of marijuana plants.
