Morning Live: Gethin Jones comments on fake celebrity online scams

Daytime favourite BBC Morning Live has been taken off air for a month in a TV schedule shake-up.

The show, which is usually hosted by Gethin Jones alongside Helen Skelton or Michelle Ackerley, is usualy aired Mondays to Fridays from 9.30am on BBC1 for 75 minutes.

But the programme was missing on Monday, July 22 and it's been revealed that it's been taken off air for a month, reports The Sun. It was replaced by an episode of Rip Off Britain.

BBC bosses took to social media to reveal that the show will be temporarily replaced.

The post read: "Here’s this week’s Strictly Fitness summer themed workout with Mr Neil Jones.

"Morning Live is on a break now. Join us on Monday 26th August from 9:30am for more Strictly Fitness.

"You can do all of the routines from this week in full & see how to do them sat down, on BBC iPlayer."

While no reason was given for Morning Live being pulled from schedules, the shake-up comes after Gethin and Michelle were requested to attend an 'improvement meeting'.

Gethin took to social media to reveal that he was dragged into a special consultation with execs from the show.

In his caption, the former Blue Peter presenter shared: "Michelle and me sitting down with the boss to discuss what we can do better!

"Love it. Always welcome a chance to improve."
