Ugh... this tweet has irritated me (and not just because of the use of emojis in a bid to look 'down with the kids').
"We can't wait for some fiery debates, don't hold back!" - Really doesn't bode well as far as I'm concerned.
From past experience, we all know what GMB mean when they say 'fiery debates': shouting, interrupting, not letting the guest give a response, generally putting the creation of a social-media-sharable spectacle above providing something useful... Was really hoping they were moving past this now that He Who Must Not Be Named has shuffled off in a blaze of ignominy.
I'll reserve judgement until I see him 'in action' but I'm not spending my mornings watching 'Good Morning The Jeremy Kyle Show' if they insist on continuing down that path. There's a reason I stopped watching GMB a year ago and only gave the show another shot again in the past few weeks... :|
Hopefully, It's a one off and he only presents for that one week or is only used for Holiday cover but I'll reserve my Judgement until he actually get's into the seat.
With Adil presenting for all of April and Richard Madeley rumoured to do all of June, I can see them as the 2 most likely contenders to replace Piers for good
