Fans Want Tom Swarbrick as Permanent Host

 viewers have called for Tom Swarbrick to be a permanent host after he made his debut on the show.

LBC radio DJ Tom, 39, and , 48, presented Monday's (May 25) edition of the popular programme.

The pair were filling in for regular hosts  and Ed Balls due to the May bank holiday.

Back in March, Tom - who can be seen as a contributor on This Morning and Lorraine - began reviewing the news headlines on Good Morning Britain.

As the latest episode began, Ranvir explained to viewers: 'Now, those of you who don't know who Tom Swarbrick is, but I think you all probably know him because you've seen Tom on a lot of This Morning.

Tom responded: 'A lot of This Morning but the first time sitting here so it's an absolute thrill!'

Ranvir then remarked: 'Well, we normally like to give everyone a warm welcome. We've given you a record-breaking hot welcome today.'

She continued: 'If you want to take your jacket off, if you want to take your tie off, just go for it, if you want to chill out. 

'You're more than welcome! How were you getting up 'early' early this morning?'

Tom confessed: 'It's been, you know, a sleepless, sweaty night but it's a great thrill and privilege to be here so thank you very much for having me.'

One viewer wrote on X: 'Loving these two. Tom and Ranvir need to be seen more. Thoroughly enjoying #gmb.'

Another penned: 'Wearing his best suit an all. Wondering if he'll be covering more during the summer hols perhaps.'

A third commented: 'Just put my TV on and I'm very surprised and happy to see Tom Swarbrick on @GMB #LBC #GMB #ThisMorning.'

A fourth chimed in: 'Lovely surprise to see Tom today #gmb.'

Near the end of the episode, Ranvir confirmed she and Tom would be back for Tuesday's installment. 

Elsewhere, Good Morning Britain - as star Charlotte Hawkins said 'maybe the sun is interfering'.

During the episode, Amelia Beckett featured in a segment in West Yorkshire, discussing the benefits of spending time outdoors.

The show in turn highlighted how Brits reportedly spend just three hours outside a week, as the nation is gripped by its biggest Bank Holiday heatwave ever.

Broadcasting from a forest park, Amelia said: 'Three hours a week really isn't that much, particularly when we know there's so many benefits that come with being outside.

'It shouldn't be just on days like today, it should be all year round that we [try] and get outside.'

The segment spanned a couple of minutes, only to come to an abrupt end due to technology problems.

Amelia, who was mid-sentence, had been saying: 'You don't have to have a beautiful park like this - it can be a local inner city park...', before being cut off.

Back in the studio, Charlotte Hawkins said to viewers: 'Oh, Amelia, thank you very much.

'Unfortunately we're having a bit of difficulty there. Maybe the sun is interfering with the satellite signal.

'You can always get outside - today is the day if there ever was one, to go out and enjoy the sunshine.'

Good Morning Britain airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
