ITV's Good Morning Britain viewers fume 'I'm off' as they complain about change

Good Morning Britain viewers were left unimpressed on Tuesday with one claiming "I'm off to GB News" following a change to the ITV programme. Susanna Reid and Ed Balls introduced a People's Panel to discuss the upcoming general election in two days.

And while some felt it was a refreshing move for the programme, others took to X to share their frustrations. One fumed: "No mention yet again of Reform, even though they have overtaken the Tories. GMB are far too biased these days. I’m off to GB News." (sic)

"How much are you paying these actors?" another asked while a third pointed out: "GMB people panel ONLY ONE ELDERLY PERSON. Not a fair selection."

Someone else complained: "Just watching your people's panel, laughing my t*ts off. There seems to be only one working-class person, the rest well-educated middle-class types. Woeful." (sic)

"@GMB people panel, seen a few of them on TV before! These are paid actors," a fifth claimed as a sixth said: "@GMB‘s “People Panel” I’m sorry but these are paid actors, they don’t sound like normal people."

However, not all viewers shared the same opinion as one defended: "Excellent chat with real people this morning, then analysed in detail by 'the brilliant quartet!' It was skilfully focussed and GMB at its very best."

Kicking off the People's Panel, Susanna began: "We're starting off with Anna..."

Ed quickly interrupted: "I know you're worried that some young people aren't going to come out and vote and what do you think would make the difference for you? What would persuade you that voting is the right thing to do in this election?"

Anna explained: "Well, I think first of all, that everyone should vote on principle, but I think for many young people, they're just feeling completely uninspired.

"If we look at the last election, fewer than half of 18 to 24-year-olds actually showed up to vote. So I actually think that this time around, it could be a lot lower.

"And I think as well for many of the friends that I've spoken to, for many of the major parties that are on offer, we're feeling unrepresented, and we're feeling as though that they're not actually speaking to us.

"Young people are really actually putting themselves forward in a way that inspires young people to actually get involved and want to have their vote.

"So I think my main question would be for those political parties, what are your main priorities in actually standing up for young people and getting our voices heard and putting us as more of a priority?"

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
