GMB fans feel for grieving Kate Garraway after her 'pillar of support' Ben Shephard quits to be the new host of This Morning


Good Morning Britain viewers claimed ITV bosses have made 'a rookie mistake' signing Ben Shephard up to This Morning as he works so well with Kate Garraway.

As This Morning announced Ben will now be the permanent host alongside Cat Deeley after the departures of both Holly WIlloughby and Phillip Schofield, some viewers questioned why bosses have decided to break a good TV partnership up. Susanna Reid, who also regularly presented Good Morning Britain with Ben after her co-host Piers Morgan quit live on air in 2021, joked the team would have to send out 'Ben comfort blankets' to viewers.
