What happened on GMB today?

Today’s edition of Good Morning Britain saw Ranvir and Ed hosting the show.

The duo have hosted the show together on a number of occasions before.

However, there was trouble in paradise today as Ed snapped at his co-star.

The pair ‘clashed’ while introducing their co-star, Richard Arnold.

As they both started speaking at the same time, Ed snapped: “Will you stop reading my links? That’s the second time.”

“I’m so sorry,” Ranvir said as she attempted to laugh it off.

Richard seemed to see the funny side though.

“It’s not often people fight over me so I’m enjoying it,” he joked.

Many were sympathetic to the former politician, with many slamming Ranvir too.

“Ed is fuming.. let him speak Ranvir,” one viewer fumed.

I’m happy that Ed asked Ranvir to stop stealing his lines.

“Finally!! From an irritated Ed Balls to Ranvir ‘Will you STOP reading my links!'” another wrote.

“I’m happy that Ed asked Ranvir to stop stealing his lines, she is so annoying. I remember when Richard Arnold had to say ‘if I can get a word in’ to her too,” a third said.

Good Morning Britain viewers slam ‘irrelevant’ Nicola Bulley update

In other GMB-related news, viewers slammed an “irrelevant” Nicola Bulley update the show reported on yesterday (Thursday, February 16).

Police recently revealed that Nicola was a “high-risk” missing person as she had “significant issues” with alcohol and menopause.

GMB reported on this news yesterday morning.

“[Police have] taken the unusal step really of revealing this level of information about a missing person, this extremely private information really to Nicola, Paul [her partner] and their family,” Kate Hemingway reported.

“But they say that they’ve done that and taken that decision mainly to prevent further speculation so people can get a better understanding of the investigation that they are working on.”

Viewers weren’t happy with this private information about Nicola being reported on.

“The information is irrelevant to helping find her,” one viewer said.

“Whatever happened to ‘privacy’ absolutely shameful reporting!!!” another fumed.
