Forgotten Good Morning Britain presenter replaces host as fans call for anchor to be a 'permanent fixture on the show'
A forgotten Good Morning Britain presenter replaced the usual host and fans called for the anchor to be a 'permanent fixture on the show'. Wednesday's instalment of the daily ITV programme saw co-hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls cover the top stories. The weather forecast is typically covered by Laura Tobin, who has presented the segment since the show launched in 2014. But Wednesday's bulletin featured a different face - Des Coleman, who usually covers ITV Central in the Midlands. The weather presenter reported that the scorching heatwave is now over and heavy showers are expected across the country. Aside from covering the forecast, Des is an actor too and has appeared in a range of shows including EastEnders and Casualty. The weather forecast is typically covered by Laura Tobin (pictured), who has presented the segment since the show launched in 2014 But Wednesday's bulletin featured a different face - Des Coleman (pictured), who usually covers ITV Central in the Midlands Good Morning Britain viewers were overjoyed at the presenter shake-up and took to social media to share their thoughts. One gushed on X: 'Lovely to see Des back on GMB ❤️.' 'It's always a good day when @DESCOLEMAN is on - even if it is raining!!' someone else added. Another chimed in: 'Yay our Des is back, missing him doing our local weather.' While someone else described Des as a 'breath of fresh air'. One watcher even called for Des to be a 'permanent fixture on the show'. However, viewers weren't happy last week when Martin Lewis replaced Richard Madeley. Typically, the ITV news programme features Susanna and Richard as presenters, but on last Wednesday's instalment, the consumer guru stepped up to host. Susanna and Martin worked their way through the day's top stories but some watchers weren't best pleased about the shake-up. Many took to social media to share their thoughts on Martin co-hosting the show and one penned on X: 'Ruins my morning having to listen to Martin - time for Eamonn I think.' 'Martin Lewis with his shouty "do this" "do that" and jumping over furniture so early in the morning may just be too much for me,' another added. Someone else said: 'I just don't have the head for Martin Lewis at this time of the morning.' Good Morning Britain is available to watch on ITV1 weekdays from 6am to 9am and to stream on ITVX.
