Ed Balls replaced in Good Morning Britain line-up change as fan-favourite in the hot seat with Susanna Reid
ED Balls won’t join Good Morning Britain co-host Susanna Reid on the show tomorrow as another fan favourite steps into the presenting seat instead.
Martin Lewis will take the co-host seat on Wednesday’s edition, Good Morning Britain confirmed on its social media accounts.
The account posted: “@MartinSLewis will join @susannareid100 on the show tomorrow where he will be answering some of your money-saving questions. Martin will also explain how to get free cash by switching your bank account.”
Ed, who has been co-hosting with Susanna, will step aside for Martin to share money advice and tips with ITV viewers.
A break from Ed’s presenting comes after viewers were left unimpressed last month when he announced that Richard Madeley would be taking over from him as guest host for two weeks.
Sharing a snap alongside his co-host Susanna Reid, he wrote: “For the avoidance of doubt, this is definitely the real Susanna Reid and not the Deep Fake version I found myself co-hosting with yesterday!
“I’m in tomorrow with Ranvir, then next week it’s over to Richard Madeley for his fortnight in the hot-seat – and as we learned from the AI experts, I’ve briefed him to always check for the ‘join’.”
However, fans were left less than impressed that Richard would be covering for his time off, with one writing: “Oh no.. 2 weeks of Madeley.. hurry back Ed.”
A second added: “So is it that how it is now? 2 weeks RM and 2 weeks you? Have to say I prefer your presenting over RM.”
A third commented: “Noooo. He soo loves himself not like Ed.”
A fourth said: “Oh why RM and TWO weeks.”
In April, Ed delighted his fans by announcing his return to the show after being “replaced” by Richard Madeley.
He had been missing from the show as Richard stood in to host with Susanna.
Ed joined GMB in July 2022 as a permanent presenter after having first appeared as a guest presenter in November 2021.
