Piers Morgan recently left GMB and now viewers are calling for Eamonn Holmes to replace him.
Fans were divided on Tuesday as ITV announced the presenter had made the decision to leave the programme after five years.
It came after a backlash and complaints over Piers’ comments about Meghan Markle‘s revelations in her Oprah interview.
On Wednesday’s GMB, Piers’ co-star Susanna Reid paid tribute to the “outspoken” and “opinionated” presenter.
She added that hosting without Piers was going to be “very different” but said “shows go on”.
