A body language and behaviour expert claims GMB host Susanna Reid would be relieved if co-host Piers Morgan were to be replaced.
The comments come after Morgan walked off set today during a row with co-star Alex Beresford.
The pair clashed over comments Morgan made in the wake of the Harry and Meghan interview with Oprah Winfrey.
ITV bosses said they had spoken to Morgan about the incident.
A number of petitions have been launched calling for Morgan to go after his comments about Meghan and her revelations around racism in the Royal family and her mental health.
Body language expert Dr Judi James, who regularly appears on TV and radio programmes including Big Brother and Newsnight, said: "I wouldn't say it's 100% hate! I would imagine that if Piers stepped down at some stage though, we might just see a relieved facial expression from Susanna on screen."
Writing for BonusFinder she added: "This is a successful double act that pulls together brilliantly on screen, but it might not necessarily be a perfect mix of personalities off-screen, just like a lot of famous double acts, where it's often the contrast and occasional sparks that work better than the similarities.
"Piers is virtually impossible to share a screen with because he is an opinionated and often confrontational alpha male and that alpha status reflects in his body language.
"He typically sits very squarely in his seat facing the camera, and he's often taking up most of the room on the sofa or desk and the screen. When he's in full flight he virtually ignores Susanna with his eye gaze although he might occasionally turn around like a naughty schoolboy to invite her in to make comments.
"Susanna regularly performs submissive body language displays - in a lot of the clips you see of them together, she's resorted to 'self-diminishing' poses. Effectively, she's making herself smaller to allow Piers more space."
Dr Judi added: "I think many women won't like to see any signs that Susanna is backing down, like hair touching, face touching or self-diminishing."
She said: "I think Piers can occasionally do this verbal mock flirting with her and as a business technique that can seem to be diminishing the person you are working with, so I always get the impression that when they will go off screen, she will have a bit of banter and then hopefully turn to more friendship and laughter."
Dame Carolyn McCall, chief executive of ITV, said on a media call following the group’s annual results also published on Tuesday that she had not spoken to Morgan or seen the programme yet, given that she was presenting the figures.
She said Morgan walking off set was not “manufactured”.
Dame Carolyn added that ITV managing director of media and entertainment Kevin Lygo had been in discussion with Morgan in recent days regarding his coverage of the Harry and Meghan interview.
Dame Carolyn insisted Good Morning Britain was a “balanced show”, saying: “ITV has many voices and we try and represent many voices every day. It’s not about one opinion.”
On Morgan’s earlier comments saying he did not believe the Duchess of Sussex, Dame Carolyn said: “I completely believe what she (Meghan) said. It’s important everyone does.”
When asked if Morgan would lose his job as a result of his comments, the ITV boss declined to comment and said she would not be drawn further on the issue.
The interview is part one of Judi’s Body Language analysis series organised and hosted by BonusFinder.com . The series will uncover the hidden signals of a number of famous faces.
