Good Morning Britain saw a shake-up in its presenters on Tuesday as Richard Madeley and Trisha Goddard took the lead.
Good Morning Britain presenter Marvarine Cole began her report with a “breaking news” announcement on Tuesday morning.
Before sharing the breaking news, Richard Madeley told viewers about what was coming up on the show and the guests they would be speaking with.
“Thank you very much indeed,” Richard shared before explaining: “We are going to be speaking live with Emma Webber, that is Barnaby’s mother after 8am. But for now, here is Marvarine with the news.”
As Trisha Goddard and Richard turned to their co-star, Marvarine paused for a moment before she told viewers: “Good morning, we start with some breaking news.”
She continued: “The Metropolitan Police have charged Ioan Pintaru with the attempted murder of an 11-year-old girl, who was stabbed in London’s Leicester Square.

Police were called to Leicester Square at 11.34am on Monday, 12 August after receiving reports of a stabbing.
An 11-year-old girl was found with stab wounds and was rushed to hospital where her injuries, while serious, were assessed as non-life threatening.
It was initially believed that the girl’s mother, a 34-year-old woman, was also hurt, but it was later confirmed that blood from her daughter’s injuries had been mistaken for injuries of her own.
Elsewhere in the programme, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Trisha’s return to GMB – and many were thrilled at her appearance.

Another praised: “Love Richard and Trisha on GMB a very professional pairing!”
