Good Morning Britain draws viewer backlash over Kwasi Kwarteng appearance

Viewers of ITV's morning programme Good Morning Britain (GMB) have been switching off the show in protest of former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's appearance on the panel. Social‑media comments accused him of being "Britain's worst ever Chancellor" and blamed him for the economic turmoil that followed the Liz Truss government, calling for his removal from future broadcasts.

In the same episode, presenter Andi Peters celebrated his 56th birthday. Colleagues Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway wished him well, and viewers remarked that he seemed "25 years younger" and speculated he "never ages". The birthday was marked with a large red‑phone shaped cake.

Both segments highlight the strong viewer engagement with GMB, ranging from political criticism to light‑hearted fan admiration.
