About Good Morning Britain
'Good Morning Britain' is ITV's breakfast show that airs on the channel weekdays from 6am. It is currently hosted by a team of presenters including Susanna Reid, Piers Morgan, Kate Garraway, Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher. Newsreader Ranvir Singh and weather presenter Laura Tobin also make up part of the 'GMB' gang. The show was launched to much fanfare in April 2014 as a replacement for the ailing 'Daybreak', which had proved a flop with viewers after it replaced 'GM:TV' in 2010. ITV managed to poach Susanna Reid from rival show 'BBC Breakfast', in a high-profile deal rumoured to be worth £1m. Her appointment was seen as an attempt to boost ratings, as ITV's breakfast offering attracted less that half of BBC Breakfast's regular 1.5m viewers. Since then, the show has often attracted attention, with many headlined focused on the unlikely TV pairing of Susanna and Piers, who have a love-hate relationship.
