Good Morning Britain star Andrew Pierce has confirmed he will be stepping down from the ITV breakfast show.
The 64-year-old journalist is a regular on the programme, often appearing alongside newspaper editor Kevin Maguire. The two often engage in heated debate about the latest Westminster scandal.
However, Andrew has since taken to social media to confirm he is departing from GMB from next week.
Good Morning Britain star Andrew Pierce leaving show
Writing on X (formerly known as Twitter), the broadcaster responded to a news report which suggested he would be appearing on Good Morning Britain less frequently.
“Not a suggestion,” he told his 355,000 followers. “It’s a fact next week is sadly my last on GMB but viewers can tune in to see me presenting on GB News from 9.30am, Monday to Thursday.”
Naturally, fans of Andrew were quick to express their dismay.
“I love watching you and Kevin together,” one wrote. “You both make me laugh.”
A second added: “I don’t know a lot about politics but I always thought the pairing of you and Kevin Maguire was entertaining. Good luck in your next role.”
“I’ll miss you Andrew on GMB,” said a third. “I loved the ‘banter’ between you and Kevin. Good luck on GB News.”
ITV cuts impacting programmes
Andrew’s exit from the programme after nearly a decade on screen comes after ITV is hit with spending cuts.
