Despite being presenter this Monday, Kate Garraway was nowhere to be seen this Tuesday, August 13, as Trisha Goddard hosted Good Morning Britain alongside Richard Madeley.

Morning TV viewers were surprised when Kate Garraway was replaced by Trisha Goddard in another host shake-up.

The Hackney-born star, 66, joined Richard Madeley this Tuesday, August 13, 2024, at the helm of Good Morning Britain as the pair ran through the day’s main headlines.

This comes after Kate Garraway, 57, had to face a crisis at home while presenting the breakfast staple on Monday, as her co-presenter Richard called her out for being engrossed with her phone during an ad break.

While she disclosed no details about the ordeal, Kate previously had to take a step back from her hosting duties on GMB after her father Gordon suffered a suspected stroke and heart attack – but this time, Trisha’s guest appearance on the programme was expected.

On Thursday, August 8, during her own chat on Good Morning Britain with Kate Garraway and co-host Ed Balls, the former talk show presenter was announced to be guest presenting the show this Tuesday and Wednesday (August 14, 2024).

“I’m not normally nervous, I have to say”, she notably said, admitting being interviewed was more nerve-wracking than hosting. “That bit I’m not nervous about, and I said before this bit I’ve been shaking like a chihuahua.” The chat also led her to candidly open up about her terminal breast cancer.

Trisha Goddard’s appearance on Good Morning Britain comes after Ed Balls has announced he’d be taking his own break from the show until September, amid a plethora of Ofcom complaints.

Taking to Instagram this Monday to share a snap of him holding a pavlova and a selfie alongside Kate Garraway, Ed wrote in his caption as he broke the news: “What better way to celebrate the start of summer holidays than with a pavlova – our family favourite”, before adding that he “loved working with Kate last week during such national turbulent times.”

Ed continued: “I’m back with Susanna (Reid) at the beginning of September when schools and Parliament return – see you soon.” As mentioned, Ed Balls was targeted with backlash last week as Ofcom received more than 8,200 complaints following an episode of GMB aired on August 5.

Viewers at home were left livid by two interviews about the government’s response to the UK far-right riots. Ed Balls was notably targeted for interviewing his own wife and Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, which TV fans deemed was a conflict of interest.
