GOOD Morning Britain fans were left stunned as Richard Madeley revealed his "real age" on the ITV morning show.
TV presenter Richard, who is 67, recalled watching the first ever "black and white" Doctor Who, which aired in 1963.
Doctor Who is now played by Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa, but actor William Hartnell first portrayed the iconic Time Lord over 60 years ago.
Ahead of Catherine Tate’s appearance on Tuesday's Good Morning Britain, Richard recalled watching the first Doctor Who when he was a child.
He began: "It’s 13 years since her last visit to the Tardis, Catherine Tate is coming back and reuniting with David Tennant to celebrate the show’s, do you believe it, 60th anniversary."
Richard then revealed: "I remember the first one, we’ll be chatting to her later."

Many fans were surprised by Richard's age, with one writing: "Richard looks good for his age," while a second posted: "Richard Madeley isn't that old, is he?"
A third added: "Richard Madeley can't be that old!"
It comes after TV stalwart Dr Hilary Jones celebrated a milestone birthday yesterday – and viewers couldn't believe it.
The TV doctor turned 70 and his colleagues Richard, Susanna, Richard Arnold and Ranvir Singh all paid tribute.
"I want what he's having," chuckled Susanna, prompting Hilary to joke: "Make-up is brilliant these days, hides all the wrinkles and everything."
The doctor said he feels "fantastic" and has no plans to slow down.
He continued: "Looking forward to running my next marathon. Ninety-eight is the oldest man to run a marathon so there's life in the old dog yet."
Richard then said: "You do not look 70, mate."
The programme took a look at Hilary's first TV appearance 30 years ago, alongside Lorraine Kelly, before showing a montage of clips from throughout his TV career.
One viewer wrote: "Dr Hilary looks younger now than he does in that compilation!"
Another said: "Happy Birthday Dr Hilary, living ledge! What a life, I love the old photos! I used to have such a teenage crush, on your pic in your NOTW Sunday magazine column."
