Good Morning Britain Announces Presenter Changes Following Controversial Remarks

Presenter Shake-up Confirmed

Good Morning Britain has confirmed a presenter shake-up after Adil Ray sparked outrage with comments that were perceived as 'fat shaming' towards darts player Luke Littler.

Adil Ray's Controversial Remarks

During Thursday's episode, Adil Ray, who has been a host on the show since 2018, made comments about Luke Littler's appearance, suggesting he was 'turning into the look of a darts player' at the age of 17. This led to backlash from viewers who accused him of 'fat shaming'.

Viewer Reactions and Response

Viewers took to social media to express their outrage, with some even threatening to report the incident to the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom. Adil's co-host, Kate Garraway, attempted to lighten the mood by joking about offering Luke a salad, but the damage had been done.

Presenter Line-up Change

In response to the controversy, it has been confirmed that Ed Balls and Susanna Reid will be taking over hosting duties on Monday's episode of Good Morning Britain.

Good Morning Britain airs on ITV and ITVX.
