Good Morning Britain under fire as frustrated fans switch off

Good Morning Britain was under fire today as frustrated fans switched over during today's show.

Friday's edition of the current affairs news programme was hosted by Alex Beresford and Charlotte Hawkins.

The show is currently rotating between a combination of guest presenters and they continued to cover the fallout from the crisis in Afghanistan on the latest edition.

But viewers were confused during a segment when the hosts discussed how they buttered their toast.

Alex said: "I've just requested some toast with Nutella and I like to butter first."

Charlotte interjected: "Richard, you were saying 'Why would you have butter when you have spread?'"

News anchor Richard explained how Nutella is made of oil so you don't need the butter - and viewers took to Twitter to say they were frustrated by the exchange.

One viewer said: "Banana bread and Beresford demanding and bleating on about his toast order. There's obviously nothing else going on on the world today folks.

Another said: "From the cancellation of Christmas to buttering toast..this show is reaching even greater depths, I’m glad I no longer watch this tv and only put up with the torcher [sic] of clips on Twitter.."

A third commented: "Wow, must be a slow news day. Oh wait..."

A fourth said: "One user said: "These 2 are far too cringe to watch. Far too painful."

Another added: "Stopped watching ages ago, can't stand it."

However, other viewers took to Twitter to praise today's presenting team.

One fan said: "#GMB Great to see @alexberesfordTV presenting this morning @GMB"

A second added: "Alex is handling this interview very well. This bloke is on the edge and he's totally kind and caring whilst still asking the questions."

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITVHub.
