List of Good Morning Britain presenters

This is a list of the on-air team members for the ITV Breakfast programme Good Morning Britain which began broadcasting in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2014.

Good Morning Britain launched on 28 April 2014 following the cancellation of Daybreak with seven main presenters – Susanna Reid, Kate Garraway, Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins, Ranvir Singh, Sean Fletcher and John Stapleton, with weather bulletins presented by Laura Tobin, entertainment news delivered by Richard Arnold and sports news presented by Fletcher.^[1]

Reid, Shephard and Hawkins all presented four days a week, with Fletcher presenting every day, Stapleton presenting every Wednesday, Garraway presenting every Thursday and Singh presenting every Friday. Garraway and Singh also acted as relief presenters.^[1]^[2]

In January 2015, the show's format changed to featuring just two main presenters with one newsreader. Shephard and Reid remained the main presenters with Reid continuing to present everyday except Friday and Shephard continuing to present everyday except Wednesday. Garraway began presenting on Wednesdays and Fridays while also taking the newsreader position on Mondays and Tuesdays. Stapleton read the news on Wednesdays with Singh taking the position on Thursdays and Fridays. Fletcher acted as a stand-in newsreader.

In June 2015, following a six-month absence due to maternity leave, Hawkins returned to the show as a newsreader Monday-Wednesday and also acts as a stand-in presenter in the absence of Reid, Shephard or Garraway.

In September 2015, Shephard reduced his weekly appearances to two, presenting on Thursdays and Fridays. Garraway then presented everyday except Thursday until Piers Morgan joined the show as a main presenter alongside Reid presenting Monday-Wednesday in November of the same year.^[3] This presenting line up of Morgan, Reid, Shephard and Garraway then remained the same until March 2021, when Morgan left the programme due to comments he made about Meghan Markle.^[4] He was initially replaced by a series of guest and stand-in presenters.

From March to July 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sister show Lorraine was cancelled so presenter Lorraine Kelly joined as the host of the new fourth hour of Good Morning Britain.^[5]

In January 2022, having not replaced Morgan with a permanent presenter ten months after his departure, it was announced that Reid would be head presenter of the show and would permanently be joined be a series of rotating presenters Monday-Wednesday. Richard Madeley signed a £300,000 contract the same month to become a permanent rotating presenter, having first appeared as a guest presenter in August 2017.^[6] In July 2022, Ed Balls became a permanent rotating presenter, having first appeared as a guest presenter in November 2021.

On 16 February 2024, it was announced that Shephard would be leaving the show to become the permanent presenter on This Morning. He presented his final show on 23 February 2024.

After Ben’s departure, rotating presenters Madeley and Balls moved to a four day slot; they alternate fortnightly to present alongside Reid or Garraway Monday–Thursday. As of March 2024, Adil Ray and Robert Rinder alternate to present the Friday shows alongside Garraway.
