Andrew Pierce Confirms Departure from ITV’s Good Morning Britain

Andrew Pierce, a prominent contributor to Good Morning Britain and host on GB News, has confirmed his departure from the ITV morning show. In a social media announcement, he stated, “Not a suggestion. It’s a fact, next week sadly is my last on @gmb, but viewers can tune in to see me presenting on @GBNEWS from 09:30 Monday to Thursday.” His announcement has elicited a wave of responses from fans, expressing support and curiosity regarding his next steps.

Many followers took to the comments section to share their thoughts. One fan inquired about the future of his podcast with Kevin Maguire, while another simply asked, “Why?” Another expressed, “I don’t know a lot about politics, but I always thought the pairing of you and Kevin Maguire was entertaining. Good luck in your next role.” Despite political differences, some viewers praised Pierce’s contributions, with one stating, “Well, Mr. Pierce, even though I don’t agree with anything you say, I do appreciate your different opinions and want to wish you all the best.”

Fans Express Mixed Emotions Over Pierce’s Exit

The lively exchanges between Pierce and Maguire have captivated audiences, with comments reflecting a sense of loss. One viewer remarked, “Will miss you. The banter between you and Maguire has me ranting at the telly most mornings. But shows you, you can have differing opinions yet still be good mates. Good Luck.” Another echoed similar sentiments, stating, “Will miss you, Andrew, on GMB, loved the ‘banter’ between you and Kevin. Good luck on GB News.”

On a recent episode of Good Morning Britain, Pierce hinted at his departure during a discussion with co-hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley. When asked if he and Maguire interacted with the public outside of the show, Pierce humorously noted that people often “shout at him” about Maguire. He quipped, “They all say, ‘Is he as bad in real life as he is on the show?’ I say, ‘Yes, he is actually.'”

The conversation continued with Reid suggesting that viewers might question the authenticity of their friendship, given their on-screen banter. Maguire chimed in, stating, “You can disagree without being disagreeable all the time.” This lighthearted exchange highlighted the dynamic relationship between the two presenters.

Looking Ahead for Andrew Pierce

Pierce has been a fixture on Good Morning Britain for several years, and his departure signals a change for the show. When Madeley asked how long they had been working together, Maguire revealed it had been approximately eight to ten years. Reid added, “Since the beginning.” Pierce’s comment, “Not for much longer, sadly,” foreshadowed his exit from the programme.

“Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 06:00 on ITV.”

As Pierce transitions to his new role at GB News, viewers can expect to see him continue his engaging style and lively debates. His presence on morning television will undoubtedly be missed by fans who have followed his career on ITV.
