Elsewhere, regular commentator Kevin Maguire appeared to discuss the day's topical stories, but his usual co-star Andrew Pierce was replaced by former Conservative MP Michael Gove.

After spotting the replacement, many of the show's viewers quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their frustration.

"You've got to be joking? Bye," one person wrote, with another adding: "Why is Michael Gove on GMB this morning? Defo switching over."

A third said: "Is it just me or is Gove getting way more talking time than Maguire?" with another sharing: "#GMB why do you have Gove on? No one wants to watch that."
