Sharing the news with his 1.1million Instagram followers, Piers appeared ecstatic as he posted a snap of himself and Susanna sitting behind the morning show desk.
The 55-year-old exclaimed: “BREAKING: For the first time ever, @gmb was ITV’s highest rated show (25.5% audience share) yesterday across the whole day/night.

No nonsense Piers
Piers had drawn a fair bit of controversy for his confrontational style of presenting during the global pandemic.
