Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley’s first day on This Morning has lastly been confirmed – by his Good Morning Britain pal Richard Arnold.
Richard was concerned in GMB’s epic send-off for Ben on Friday (February 23). And, he revealed after we can anticipate to see Ben again on our screens on This Morning.
The GMB and Tipping Point favorite was confirmed as the brand new Monday to Thursday co-host earlier this month. He will likely be joined by Cat Deeley. Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary will keep on board for his or her common Friday present.
Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley’s begin date on This Morning confirmed
Housewives’ favorite Ben will get pleasure from a few weeks off earlier than he begins work on This Morning.
Speaking earlier this week, Richard Arnold confirmed that Ben’s first present will likely be on March 11. This means he’ll have two weeks off earlier than having to set his alarm clock – albeit for a barely later time than common.
Announcing his departure, from GMB, Ben mentioned: “This actually seems like a really particular second for Cat and I to be a part of the subsequent chapter of This Morning. It’s an honour to be trusted with the reigns, be a part of Alison and Dermot and all of the workforce that work on and off display screen and do such an amazing job.
“For the last 10 years I’ve been waking up with our ITV daytime audience on GMB and I now look forward to spending time with Cat, welcoming the viewers home after the school run or from their early morning routines, with a cup of tea and a mix of everything that makes This Morning so loved.”
Who will exchange Ben on GMB?
The bookies have waded in on this one, and it appears it may not be excellent news for some viewers.
Lingo host – and GMB common – Adil Ray is the new favorite to take over the reigns of the early morning present on ITV1.
According to Instant Casino, he’s at present 5/2 to exchange Ben. Ed Balls and Rylan Clark observe behind with odds of 4/1.
GMB viewers aren’t precisely followers of Adil. In reality, many on Twitter complained the final time he fronted the present alongside Kate Garraway.
One even declared that his presence alone was purpose sufficient to “turn off”.
