Susanna Reid shuts down Andi Peters over Ed Ball's piano skills
Good Morning Britain viewers issued the same complaint about Ed Balls on Monday's ITV show.
Viewers were left divided by Ed's appearance on the show and while many loved seeing him, others pleaded for bosses to "get rid".
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, @prodigalpirate complained: "Ed Balls is responsible for so many people abandoning #gmb and switching to the BBC. Utterly awful, amateurish, unfunny, zero charm. Who employed (and continues to employ) him???" (sic)
@Gazmandan pleaded: "It’s time to get rid of Ed Balls, such a bad presenter."
While @ScottMoffett01 added: "Ed is really making this show hard to watch this morning."

@SnappingSandwe1 claimed: "#gmb just f*** Ed balls off! He’s bringing more embarrassment to your programme - if that’s possible!."
"@GMB I keep turning over to bbc1 because of Ed Balls being cringey. Please get rid," Patrick72135641 tweeted. (sic)
However, not all viewers shared the same thoughts as many stepped in to defend Ed.
@evelyndalton7 said: "Who knew Ed Balls played the piano so beautifully lovely hearing that whilst I drink my morning cuppa #Gmb."

During Monday's instalment, Ed treated viewers to a performance on the piano.
However, not everyone was pleased as Andi Peters took a cheeky swipe at Ed saying it was awful.
During the competition segment, Susanna Reid joked to Andi: "I thought you were getting him piano lessons."
"I've already done that online for him," Andi fired back.
"Come on," Ed pleaded as Susanna went on: "Ed is not getting you a Christmas present.
"And you are on your own because we are inundated with [messages]."
As Andi tried to speak, Susanna waved her hand and said: "No, Andi, no."
"He's too talented," Andi weighed in as Susanna simply replied: "Hmmm."
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
