Revision as of 10:31, 7 April 2022

This is a list of the on-air team members for the ITV Breakfast programme Good Morning Britain which began broadcasting in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2014.

On 3 March 2014 it was announced that Sean Fletcher, Charlotte Hawkins, Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard would become the main presenters of the programme. John Stapleton, Ranvir Singh & Kate Garraway also presented the show on a regular basis.

In 2015, the show received a shake up which meant that the show went down to just 2 main presenters with 1 newsreader. Ben Shepard and Susanna Reid remained the main presenters, with Charlotte Hawkins moving to the newsreader position. Stapleton, Singh & Garraway continued to be regular main presenters and newsreaders. Fletcher moved to the position of Sport Editor.

In September 2015, Shephard confirmed he would cut his days down to just 2 days a week presenting on Thursdays and Fridays.

In November of the same year, Piers Morgan joined the show as a main presenter alongside Reid he presented Monday-Wednesday.

From November 2015-March 2021 the presenting line-up remained mostly the same with just the newsreaders occasionally switching positions.

From March to July 2020 (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) sister show Lorraine was cancelled so presenter Lorraine Kelly joined as the host of the new fourth hour of Good Morning Britain.

In March 2021, following comments Morgan made about Meghan Markle, he left the programme. A rotation of guest and relief presenters have replaced his slot alongside Reid.

Richard Madeley secured a permanent contract, hosting alongside Reid most weeks Monday–Wednesday from January 2022, with relief presenters such as Adil Ray, Martin Lewis and Richard Bacon covering the slot in his absence.
