The fans love Paul!

| Updated:

GMB fans are pleading with ITV to make new presenter Paul Brand a permanent host on the show.

The journalist recently replaced Richard Madeley and has been hosting the daytime programme alongside Ranvir Singh and Kate Garraway the last couple of days.

However, fans want him to stay as a permanent fixture.

Taking to Twitter, one person said: “@GMB would love @PaulBrandITV to be a permanent figure on GMB. Brilliant journalist and actually knows what he’s doing!! Lovely character.”

A second wrote: “@GMB @PaulBrandITV should be permanent as a presenter alongside @adilray. Both are great presenters. No others.

“I just cringe when @richardm56 and @edballs are on. Richard’s gaffes are ridiculous and Ed looks so uncomfortable in front of the autocue.”

@GMB Please please PLEASE make @PaulBrandITV permanent position! He is Superb! Asks great questions, listens to answers, doesn’t WAFFLE ON! Or get into trivial giddy ‘time filling’ chitchat! #paulbrand,” another tweeted.

Fans also made petitions for who they would love to see hosting alongside Paul.
