Good Morning Britain experienced a drop in viewership on Friday as fans expressed their disappointment with the show. Hosted by Kate Garraway and Rob Rinder, the breakfast program aimed to inform viewers about the day’s top headlines. One of the major news stories discussed was the arrest and custody of former glamour model Katie Price. The mother of five was taken into custody for failing to attend court proceedings, resulting in a warrant being issued for her arrest. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest of the 46-year-old woman from Surrey at Heathrow Airport on Thursday.
As Kate and Rob discussed Katie Price’s arrest on the show, viewers took to social media to express their frustration. Some viewers felt that the show lacked balance and switched channels, while others questioned the newsworthiness of focusing on Katie Price over other important stories. Meanwhile, Katie Price is facing a significant tax debt after being declared bankrupt for the second time earlier this year.
In addition to the Katie Price story, viewers also criticized Good Morning Britain for not covering the arrest of Ricky Jones in more depth. The Metropolitan Police had arrested Mr. Jones under suspicion of encouraging murder and an offense related to the Public Order Act. Shocking footage had surfaced of Mr. Jones inciting violence against far-Right protesters, leading to his dismissal from the Labour party.
Overall, the show faced backlash from viewers for its coverage of certain news stories and the perceived lack of balance in reporting. Despite the controversies, Good Morning Britain continues to air on ITV weekdays at 6am, providing viewers with the latest headlines and discussions on various topics.
