Liking the promo, it definitely appears to be parodying the ‘warm’ BBC Breakfast promo where the presenters are talking to the families as they go about getting ready.

It does set up a bit of a problem though — what do they do when Piers leaves? I imagine there will be a time when Morgan goes too far over the line, and they’ll be forced to find a replacement.

Fridays have historically rated lower than the rest of the week (I’m guessing that’s why it’s Susanna’s day off) so ITV may be less concerned that it’s a very different program under Ben and Kate. They could do with some consistency across the week though.

Given that Katie Hopkins has already been denounced by most of the UK media, there is no chance ITV will give her a platform to air her vile comments.

You say that, but she's been on This Morning several times.

That was before her most controversial comments, and her appearances were discussing things like children’s names. As she became more extreme, the likes of The Sun, LBC and the Daily Mail all distanced themselves from her. I think she’s now found working for a far right blog, but I’m not entirely sure. ITV would never employ her — that’s an absolute certainty.

I used to quite like her when she was ranting about kids having silly names, she was very similar to what Piers is now. Somewhere along the way though she turned into some horrible spiteful troll rather than a fairly witty troublemaker.

Yeah, I can’t see someone considered too controversial and right wing for LBC or the Daily Mail fitting in on breakfast television. Whilst Piers Morgan is also a controversialist gobsh*te, he’s not an out and out racist like Hopkins.

Hopkins these days seems to like spending time in Belgium moaning about foreigners living there, there with no sense of irony at all.

I don't like to assume anything the way things are these days, but Hopkins is utterly toxic. LBC and the Daily Mail got rid of her just in time.

Farage may be controversial but generally knows how far he can go and within a radio studio a producer can generally keep you right. Whereas Hopkins tweets a lot, and that's what gets her in trouble.

Not that I’m a big fan, but if they were looking for a female equivalent to Piers Morgan (or a replacement at some point), Julia Hartley-Brewer might be a better choice.

She's turned into the Poundland version of Hopkins.

As was stated up thread, Morgan is pretty good at keeping things politically impartial, JHB's politics are not in doubt.

And Hopkins was already the Poundland Melanie Phillips
Luke B, Stuart and Steve in Pudsey gave kudos
