ITV Good Morning Britain viewers say 'enough is enough' after they have their day 'ruined' over 'missing' star

A week has passed but the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drama returned on Thursday (December 15) - and Good Morning Britain viewers appear to have had 'enough'. Viewers tuning into the latest ITV news programme today saw hosts Ranvir Singh and Adil Ray discussing all the latest news.

The pair heavily focussed on the nurse strikes, which began at 8am, as well as the tragic news that a search was underway in the English Channel after four people died following the capsizing of a boat carrying migrants.

But in the moments before the end of the programme, Ranvir and Adil were joined by a number of guests to discuss the latest release of Harry and Meghan's Netflix series including ITV's royal editor Chris Ship who had been in the green room watching the final three episodes of Harry & Meghan at speed.

However, as the group discussed some of the latest revelations in the bombshell series, which included Prince William 'shouting' at Harry in a meeting about him and Meghan stepping down as senior royal and the couple being 'blocked' from seeing the Queen despite her inviting them to stay, viewers were flocking to social media as they wanted an end to the coverage.

@PaulRoy4502957 tweeted: "After years of watching GMB, enough is enough. I can't keep watching programs trhat continually keep giving airtime to Harry and Meghan. Fed up to the back teeth of seeing their pathetic faces. #GMB." @Kellyfree12 said: "#GMB @GMB shouldn't do any stories on Harry and Meghan."

While @LenzoToggz added: "#GMB Harry and Meghan are a bit annoying aren't they." But it appears there was a more pressing issue that was bothering GMB viewers more than the coverage of Harry and Meghan - and that was the lack of Ben Shephard.

The presenter is usually seen hosting the last two shows of the week alongside both Susanna Reid and Kate Garraway. However, while Kate appeared at the helm of the programme earlier this week, Ben failed to appear in his usual slot today. And despite, Adil, 48 and Ranvir, 45 being part of the changing line-up of presenters for GMB, fans were disappointed.

@ScullyScully73 tweeted: "WTF is Adil doing in the studio?? It’s a #BenDay Thursday Ruined #GMB Over to #BBCBreakfast." @KarlWomack3 commented: "Looks like @GMB #GMB running out of staff Martin, Ben now Adil. Whoops nearly forgot Richard so is it different tomorrow too Susanna, Kate, Ranvir, Charlotte."

But others were pleased. @deepthinker8899 said: "#GMB two great presenters on today, making my day." @Robbiesmit888 shared: "A real mix of diversity presenting on #GMB this morning, news reader needs a bit more practice but… Well done @ITV."
