New presenters join ITV Breakfast
ITV today announces a new presenting team set to join the ITV Breakfast roster of talent later this year.
Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher will be joining the channel as ITV's main weekday presenters between 6.00am and 8.30am, on ITV's newly named breakfast show, Good Morning Britain.
Lorraine Kelly will now be at the helm of her own show, Lorraine, between 8.30am and 9.25am, five days a week.
Aled Jones will present a new weekend morning show, Weekend, between 8.30am and 9.25am starting later this year. Read press release.
ITV Director of Daytime, Helen Warner, said:
I'm delighted to welcome all four presenters to the ITV Breakfast family. ITV has a first class roster of breakfast and daytime talent both on and off screen and I'm thrilled to be expanding this. Our overriding aim is to continue to improve our breakfast programming for our viewers and we have been working for some time behind the scenes developing the next chapter of our offering.
Engaging, news driven content is our number one priority and will be at the heart of everything we do on Good Morning Britain. I believe we have a top team in place to deliver this and make this a compelling proposition to wake up to in the morning.
