The show couldn't seem more civilised - the televisual equivalent of reading the morning papers over a cuppa. However, behind the scenes, is Good Morning Britain being drenched by a tidal wave of bad feeling? And are the once loyal viewers turning off in their droves for good?
The trouble started when Piers Morgan sensationally quit the channel last year, his rigorous interviewing style and headline grabbing commentary a tough act to follow.

Piers walked off set after a heated row with former weather presenter Alex Beresford over Piers' comments about the Duchess of Sussex, following that Oprah Winfrey's interview in March 2021.
