GMB fans fume 'something's missing' as ITV election show leaves them with sour taste

fans were left up in arms after spotting one major segment noticeably missing from the morning roundup on the news show.

During Wednesday's visit (November 6) to the studios, and woke up the nation with some of the day's most pressing stories.

This included the news of Queen Camilla's sudden illness and the surprising changes to Glastonbury Festival's ticket sales. But arguably the news on everyone's lips was the result of the 2024 US election.

At the time of writing this article, Donald Trump is close to winning his second term in office with an impressive 266 votes to Kamala Harris' 188.

The morning show pulled out the big guns to mark the occasion and dedicated 80 per cent of the show to covering the results the second instalment of the week.

And it's fair to say some viewer's were disappointed about the morning line up with one daily segment missing from the show. Taking to X - formerly known as Twitter - fans fumed over the lack of weather coverage and local news on the programme.

One user penned: "Have I missed the weather and our local news ? #GMB" as another agreed: "#GMB Are we going to get news from the UK today?"

A third echoed: "Don't get this much coverage for a UK electtion, meanwhile - what's the weather over Oxfordshire going to be today? Any British news? #GMB"

As a fourth chimed in with: "Tbh rather than the stuff I'd rather know what the weather's going to be like where I actually live #gmb."

Just before 8am, viewers were given a brief weather report by Laura Tobin that was less than a minute long before coverage returned to the ongoing US election.

The programme quickly returned to the US with Susanna and Ed as they aired Donald Trump's victory speech to supporters in Florida after he won the key swing state of Pennsylvania.

He thanked the crowd, saying this was "the greatest political movement in all time" and that he was going to "help our country heal."

Good Morning Britain airs on weekdays from 6am on ITV1 or catch up on ITVX.
