Final edition of ITV Daybreak airs today; Good Morning Britain launches Monday
The final edition of ITV’s Daybreak airs this morning.
The programme will be replaced by a new breakfast show from Monday morning entitled ‘Good Morning Britain’. The show, which will continue to broadcast in the same timeslot as Daybreak (6am-8.30am), will be fronted by Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher.

The show was given a revamp in late 2012, where Lorraine Kelly and Aled Jones took over the main presenting duties, and were joined by 5 News’ Matt Barbet and BBC North West’s Ranvir Singh.
