Richard Madeley replaced on GMB today
Today’s edition of Good Morning Britain saw another presenting shake-up take place.
Richard usually co-hosts the show on Mondays through to Wednesdays.
However, the controversial host was nowhere to be seen today, with Ed Balls sitting in his place next to Susanna Reid this morning instead.
“Good morning to you, Ed Balls. Happy New Year,” Susanna Reid said at the start of the show.
“Happy New Year, good to be back,” Ed replied.
“It’s good to have you back,” Susanna smiled.
GMB viewers delighted as Ed Balls returns
It wasn’t just Susanna who was happy to have Ed back on the show today.
Plenty of viewers took to Twitter to express their delight over the former politician’s return.
“I’d take Ed Balls every day over Richard Madeley, despite his Love Island obsession, at least he’s not offensive and clueless like Madeley is,” one viewer tweeted.
“How refreshing to see Ed Balls on #gmb this morning,” another said.
I’d take Ed Balls every day over Richard Madeley.
“Ed Balls 100% more enlightening and entertaining than Madley. Too early but wholesome,” a third wrote.
However, not everyone was happy with the 55 year old being on the show.
“I just can’t with Ed Balls,” one viewer wrote.
