Martin Lewis on Good Morning Britain
GMB viewers were over the moon yesterday (Monday, March 21) when they turned on the TV to see Martin hosting the show alongside Susanna Reid.
The 49-year-old replaced Richard Madeley in hosting the show yesterday, and viewers were happy to say the least.
“Pls pls pls can @martinlewis and @adilray be the main @GMB presenters??! I can’t watch Mon-Wed when ghastly, tactless Richard Madeley is on,” one viewer tweeted yesterday.

Martin was hosting the show again today alongside Susanna, and once again, viewers were buzzing.
“Martin Lewis is not only a national treasure, we should never have Richard Madeley inflicted by #GMB on us again,” one viewer said today.
“Good morning Martin, #GMB has never been so utterly superb,” another said.

“Totally agree Martin. You have an enormous positive impact on so many lives. Thank you for always being there,” one of his followers said.
