Good Morning Britain fans plead for Piers Morgan’s immediate RETURN after ‘loud and annoying’ Jeremy Kyle stands in as host
IT was a case of be careful what you wish for as Good Morning Britain viewers PLEADED for controversial host Piers Morgan to return in place of "loud and annoying" stand-in Jeremy Kyle.
Jeremy, 52, known for his fiery ITV series The Jeremy Kyle show, sparked a variety of frustrated and confused comments from fans after he opened the breakfast news bulletin at 6am.
He revealed he was co-hosting with Kate Garraway for the first time in 14 months.
It comes after The Sun Online revealed a variety of presenters would replace ex-newspaper man Piers - renowned for his outspoken, blunt style - during the summer break.
Yet many took to Twitter to vent their fury at Jezza dominating the morning TV schedule with one cruelly branding him "a Poundland Piers Morgan".
Another called on producers to "get shot" of Jezza despite it being his first day in the hot seat.
The backlash came as somewhat of a surprise, with regular anchor Piers often prompting a sheer divide among show fans.
One bluntly ranted: "Who chose #JeremyKyle to present @GMB!? Thick and utterly objectionable.
"Who thought they'd find someone more galling than @piersmorgan!?!"
Another wrote: "Waking up and turning on my Tv and seeing Jeremy Kyle on #GMB you know it's a start to a bad day. 😩 Bring back @piersmorgan."

The comments continued to flow throughout the live broadcast, with another adding: "Jeremy Kyle is a Poundland Morgan. @piersmorgan is the best."
A loyal fan uploaded: "Jeremy Kyle on #goodmorningbritain URGH he makes Pierce Morgan seem bearable."
One then pleaded: "Get shot of Jeremy Kyle...come back @piersmorgan," as another quipped: "@GMB do you really have no one else that could present the the show other than #jeremykyle"
One took the simple approach and put: "Piers Morgan off; Jeremy Kyle in," while one gave an insight into their early morning living room as they wrote: "Could @GMB be any less watchable?!
Even the wife's turned it off!"
An angry viewer added: "Jeremy Kyle is the same on #gmb as he is on #jeremykyle Loud and sodding annoying."
Others saw a funnier side, making comparisons to Jeremy's talk show where he tried to resolve domestic disputes between couples on the brink.
He works with the help of counsellor Graham and offers lie detector and DNA testing services, which prompted a GMB viewer to joke: "Waiting for Jeremy Kyle to bust out those DNA results."
Following on from their lead, one then put: "Surely, if Jeremy Kyle is presenting Good Morning Britain then we need Graham and the aftercare team as well."
Yet Jezza's appearance did delight some.
One gushed: "Nice to see Jeremy Kyle not shouting - and he is easy on the eye ! so pleasant to not hear shouty Piers Morgan," while another praised: "Doing a great job."
A balanced fan put: "Since when did jeremy kyle present @GMB love it! 😲 although i miss Piers Morgan."
