This Morning announces new boss after Martin Frizell's exit


This Morning has announced that Vivek Sharma will be taking over as editor of the ITV daytime show after Martin Frizell announced he would be stepping down last year

The current editor of This Morning, Martin Frizell, revealed his departure plans last November after a decade-long stint, choosing to take time off from ITV to support his wife, ex-GMTV host Fiona Phillips, following her Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2022. Reflecting on his impressive career, he added with a sense of pride: "It's been a privilege to lead truly great presenters and producers, between us we've turned out more than six thousand hours of live topical telly, that's around 20,000 items and whilst the gongs are always nice." He continued to share his fulfillment in making a genuine impact beyond the screen: "I'm most proud of the change we made to so many lives, even saving a fair few with our campaigns on anti suicide, menopause, testicular cancer and 'how - to' items.
