iPhone wants to update an app I don't have installed

The App Store shows I have an app that needs to be updated. However, when I tap on the App Store icon, it shows an app that I've never downloaded and is currently not on my iPhone. The name of the app is "This Morning with Gordon Deal.". HELP!!!!

iPhone 5, Other OS, iOS 8.1.2

I mentioned that in my first post. I don't believe the OP found it there either. Still, if won't hurt to look again. Seems like a very odd issue...and one that may require the device to be restored as new to test if the app is again on the device after downloading a few from it's "clean" state.
