Good Morning Britain’s Dr Hilary Jones is taking a break from the show next week and the presenters are pretty worried about it.
Both Charlotte Hawkins and Adil Ray stressed they don’t know what we’ll do without him. Charlotte even joked he might be called back in if they couldn’t cope!
But some viewers have stressed they won’t miss him on GMB, feeling he’s been scaremongering and being too gloomy.

Dr Hilary takes a break from Good Morning Britain
The doc has spent the last few months commenting and informing us every day during lockdown, but now he’s taking a well-deserved rest.
Appearing on Thursday’s GMB (July 16) Hilary said he was having a week off, to which stand-in host Adil Ray told him: “You can’t leave next week!”
Charlotte Hawkins added: “What?! I don’t know who allowed that.”
“I thought I’d have a little break,” Dr Hilary laughed. Charlotte said: “It’s very well deserved.”
Sorry but I won’t miss Dr Hilary
Today (Friday, July 17) Hilary confirmed how long he’s going to be away for.
“At the moment I’m off for a couple of weeks, I’m looking forward to a kip, a bit of sleep. It’ll be really nice,” he said.
But Charlotte joked: “You might be getting a phone call saying ‘we need you back’!”
Will viewers miss Dr Hilary on Good Morning Britain?
Some viewers wished Dr Hils a very well-deserved holiday.

Dr Hilary gives glasses advice

Today’s show saw Dr Hilary give advice to glasses wearers now masks are set to become mandatory in shops from July 24.
With people complaining their glasses have been steaming up, Dr Hilary said: “So you wear your glasses outside above the mask so you don’t get the steam from your breath steaming up the inside of your glasses.
“And you previously dip your glasses in soapy water and allow them to dry naturally, that gives a sort of anti-fog affect, which is temporary, but it’s worth having anyway.”
Good Morning Britain continues Monday to Friday at 6am on ITV.
