GMB viewers react to 'painful' show as Piers Morgan replaced by Ben Shephard

Susanna Reid was back to front the ITV news programme while Piers Morgan was replaced by Ben Shephard as the show's new week begins

Piers Morgan replaced by Ben Shephard on Monday's GMB

Good Morning Britain returned to screens on Monday morning after a week full of drama.

Susanna Reid was back to front the ITV news programme while Piers Morgan was replaced by Ben Shephard as the show's new week begins.

It comes after Piers' dramatic exit last week, announced by bosses on Tuesday evening, hours after he stormed off set in a tense row live on GMB with co-star Alex Beresford over his comments about Meghan Markle.

Piers came under fire after he said he didn't believe the Duchess of Sussex' statement she had suicidal thoughts while pregnant with son Archie and serving as full-time member of the Royal Family.

On Friday, the 55-year-old said he left GMB after refusing to apologise for 'disbelieving' Meghan's claims and that he has become "the latest ‘victim’ of the cancel culture."

But as GMB returned this morning, not everyone was impressed.

"Ben’s a nice guy but he ain’t a Piers replacement #gmb," wrote one.

Another said: "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, @ITV and @GMB need to write a book on how to kill a leading television show in a week. This is painful.... it’s turned into an OAP social day out BRING BACK PIERS."
