GMB showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold joked: “I hope he comes and picks up his picture of the Dalai Lama, he’s left that in my dressing room.”

The show has been hit by claims it has become boring since Piers left, but Ben defended it saying: “The show is carrying on, like we always say, the show was on way before all of us started on ITV breakfast.

“The show will be there way beyond all of us when we decide to leave, when we do decide to leave.

“The people putting the show together and making it for a very passionate audience that still love watching it as far as we know.”
