Richard was co-presenting the show yesterday (Monday, April 25), but he was nowhere to be seen today.

Ed has co-hosted the show on numerous occasions, however, his presence has always divided viewers.

Ed seemed very happy to be on the show today, telling Susanna “it’s good to be back” at the beginning of the programme.

“It’s good to be back,” Susanna replied before she went on to speak about her time reporting in Poland.

Ed may have been happy to be back on the show, but not all viewers were.

Man alive, Ed Balls is terrible on #GMB he just doesn’t get any better,” one viewer tweeted.

“Ed Balls get off the TV please!” another said.

“Ed Balls presenting…” a third wrote, adding yawning emojis at the end of their tweet.

However, some viewers were happy to see the former politician on the show.

“Just loving Ed Balls on GMB would like to see him more on GMB,” one said.

“We love Ed Balls more of him please,” another wrote.
