Jeremy Kyle to stand in for Piers Morgan on ITV's Good Morning Britain
Jeremy Kyle is to stand in for Piers Morgan on ITV’s Good Morning Britain over the Easter holidays.
With GMB’s Morgan and co-host Susanna Reid both on holiday over the Easter break, the controversial talkshow host will step in to co-present with Kate Garraway.
Kyle said: “GMB is a fantastic show and I’m really looking forward to stepping into Piers Morgan’s shoes, and even on his toes, over the Easter holidays.
“Along with Kate Garraway, I’ll be helping to wake the nation up and give them the breaking news and entertainment stories of the day over breakfast.”
ITV News presenter Mark Austin will also cover three days as a co-anchor
with Ranvir Singh, from 6 April to 8 April.
Austin said: “I’m looking forward to joining the GMB team and to the early alarm calls. And also happy to be giving the other presenters a temporary rest from Piers Morgan!”
Kyle is set for a stint from 28 March to 30 April, and then 4 April to 5 April.
The remaining days will then be covered by Garraway and Ben Shephard.
Jeremy Kyle and Kate Garraway are presenting the first week of the Easter Holidays, Mark Austin and Ranvir Singh are presenting the second week of the Easter Holidays.
Could this be a test to try out different presenters? Maybe a weekend edition, perhaps?

Either, both or none. I'd like to see a weekend edition, with Sean Fletcher getting more time on Saturday and Sunday to present some sports previews and highlights, and maybe an extended newsmaker interview on the Sunday morning.
If they could maybe move the show away from being all about certain 'star' presenters, and be more like Breakfast's ensemble cast, they'd do better with it I think.
