GMB Fans Furious as Susanna Reid is Replaced by ‘Most Hated’ Presenters Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway

Good Morning Britain fans were in an uproar after Susanna Reid was replaced by a familiar face, leaving many to ask, “Who makes these decisions?” On Monday, December 16, Kate Garraway, 57, joined Richard Madeley, 68, to deliver the latest news and interview guest DJ Craig David. The hosting duo, however, did not sit well with some viewers, who expressed their frustrations on social media, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Susanna, 54, who has been co-presenting alongside Richard since Ben Shephard’s departure earlier this year, announced last week that she would be off-screen until Christmas Day. Despite her absence, many fans were displeased with the pairing of Kate and Richard on Monday’s episode. One viewer on social media voiced their dissatisfaction, writing, “Not coming up on GMB, Susanna Reid.

Paid a salary of £1,100,000 to host this dross three mornings a week. But not for the next three weeks obviously.” Others shared similar sentiments, with one remarking, “Susanna worked on Sunday’s show yesterday and now has to take 3 weeks off!”

The decision to pair up Kate and Richard also sparked harsh criticism. One viewer tweeted, “GMB who the f*** makes the decision to pair up the 2 most hated presenters in TV?” Another commented, “Kate loves her own jokes, think she’s the only one who does.” Several others pointed out that Kate frequently interrupted Richard during the broadcast, which only added to the tension.

This comes after an awkward moment on the show last month when Kate was reprimanded by producers for interrupting a guest. She was told to “let the guest talk” during an interview with comedian Babatúndé Aléshé, who was discussing his experience on I’m A Celeb.

Despite the criticism, the show continued with its usual mix of discussions on current events, including the royal Christmas celebrations and government shake-ups. However, viewer backlash over the pairings of the presenters seemed to dominate social media, with many viewers expressing their frustration over the constant hosting changes.

Some even threatened to change the channel when Richard was on screen, calling his interviews “shambolic” and claiming he “interrupted” guests. It seems Good Morning Britain viewers have their favorites and are not shy about voicing their opinions on the constant hosting switches.
