Good Morning Britain viewers immediately switched off as they tuned into Monday's instalment of the ITV show.

Kicking off the first episode of the week was Susanna Reid and Adil Ray, who shared the latest headlines with viewers across the country. However, fans were less than pleased with the line-up as they took to social media to vent their frustrations.

One fumed: "Adil Ray on a Monday? wtf? Is literally everyone else busy?" A second agreed: "Adil Ray = turn gmb off." Another wrote: "Adil Ray ffs!!! #GMB."

Echoing this, a fourth declared: "#gmb its turning into a shit show instead of a serious news programme. susana and her comedy glasses, adil "the clown" ray, ranvir can't string a sentence together. ffs."

Another asked: "Adil on a Monday??? Why?? #gmb," as someone else weighed in: "#gmb Adil bloody ray on a Monday FFS."

The fan fury comes after Adil was forced to step in as Kate Garraway had a "crisis" live on Friday's episode (June 21) of GMB.

Following a segment on the General Election, Kate appeared to be caught off guard as it cut back to her and Adil in the studio. She began: "Well, thanks very much indeed that was our story."

The Life Stories presenter attempted to continue reading off the autocue, but she became flustered. Kate then held her hands up and said: "I was just having a hair crisis! I'm going to be honest."

The mum-of-two started to laugh before Adil jumped out of his seat and rushed to help. "Let me just check this hair now," he said.

After smoothing Kate's hair down, Adil returned to his seat, adding: "Yeah, it looks like it normally does." But interjected: "People are saying my hair looks sweaty and it flustered me for a moment. But I'm back, with news and politics now."

During the same show, fans of GMB had issued complaints about the presenting duo. Complaining on X, viewers threatened to "switch off" as they claimed Kate wouldn't stop interrupting Adil.

One user said: "Kate using her hand to shut down Adil's point Adil 'I thought Ed Davey ……' Kate: Me Me Me Me Me Me #gmb."

Another wrote: "4th and 5th time Adil! Kate let others talk! #GMB." A third complained: "It’s the 'Kate' show again! She’s overspoke Adil at least 3 times! SO rude! #GMB."
