Adil Ray condemns abuse aimed at fellow presenters as he leaves Good Morning Britain

Good Morning Britain host Adil Ray has spoken out against the online abuse received by his co-presenters Alex Beresford and Sean Fletcher.

Adil shared his thoughts on the vile abuse during a discussion about online trolling on Thursday morning's instalment of the show - as shown in the video above.

Speaking about the abuse Alex Beresford, Sean Fletcher and Ranvir Singh received on a daily basis the 46-year-old said: "There have been changes on-screen and we recognise that - I mean, we're here right now.

"Even though it's not permanent jobs, things have definitely changed."

Adil's co-host Ranvir Singh added: "You do get trolled for it - you get a lot of Twitter nonsense.

"You were reading out a lot this morning, I don't know if you want to go into it."

Adil replied: "Oh we do get trolled for it. I don't want to go into it, but I know Alex Beresford and Sean Fletcher got it last week.

"We are part of the change."

Adil, who is was working his last shift on the popular morning show for a while with Piers Morgan and Ben Shephard set to return in the coming weeks, added: "We do get grief on television, it's part of the job.

"But what I've done over the past seven weeks on this show, is concentrate on the amount of love.

"I spend less time on social media and just learnt to ignore the minority views and embrace the love."

*Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1
