The move comes after Piers Morgan l eft the programme following a row over his comments about the Duchess of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Adil, 46, who has hosted the show on a number of previous occasions, will present alongside Kate Garraway and Susanna Reid.

He tweeted: "Some news for you....I will be co hosting Good Morning Britain throughout the whole of April Mon to Weds, starting this Monday with Kate Garraway and with Susanna Reid after the hols.

"I would love for you to make it your daily wake up if you fancy it!"

ITV director of television Kevin Lygo said earlier this week that you "can't replace" Mr Morgan.

He added that Good Morning Britain's current presenters will be "stepping up" and the show will "mix and match" its current line-up until a more permanent solution is found.
