ITV Good Morning Britain viewers fume as hosts 'rudely interrupt' political guests

Good Morning Britain viewers were fuming over the 'continuous interrupting' of hosts Kate Garraway and Adil Ray on the ITV show on Tuesday morning.

The morning television presenters were in the midst of interviewing Northern Ireland secretary Brandon Lewis, when Adil angrily asked Brandon if the Government should just "tear up the ministerial code", when discussing the fate of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Brandon Lewis was in the hot seat defending the Prime Minister, after it was found he had breached lockdown rules by attending parties in Downing Street during the highest restrictive phases of the pandemic.

Ahead of Boris Johnson's first speech to MPs since being fined for the incidents earlier this month, Lewis stated Johnson had not broken the ministerial code, which caused Ray to furiously suggest "tearing up" the code as he demonstrated doing so.

However, viewers were less inclined to show their support for the hosts, and instead took to social media to complain about the lack of air time guests have on the show.

One Twitter user wrote: "Kate spoke the whole way through that debate, what was the point in getting guests on? #gmb"

Another said: "#gmb is it criteria to appear on this show whether guest or presenter to constantly talk over one another?!"

And a third wrote: "#GMB Kate Garraway and her sidekick Adil, what an annoying pair, going at Brandon Lewis like a couple of hyenas tearing at a carcass.

"Neither of you are Piers Morgan, and also the viewers would like to hear what the interviewee has to say occasionally."

Another Twitter user added: "#gmb let's just talk over each other and make the discussion pointless."

Further comments read: "#GMB Anyone Understand that Shouty Segment?", and "Let’s all talk at the same time … c**** #GMB"

Good Morning Britain resumes on Wednesday, April 20 and each weekday on ITV from 6am onwards.
