Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid have presented their final edition of Good Morning Britain until the autumn.

The pair usually take breaks in line with the school holidays and, even though the education calendar has been shaken up due to the coronavirus pandemic, they have now gone off air for an extended summer break.

In the meantime, GMB will be presented by Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway, who returns to host the show on Monday morning for the first time in almost four months after her husband Derek Draper's awful battle with coronavirus.

Unless coronavirus takes another severe turn - in which case Morgan and Reid may choose to curtail their holiday - they will be absent from the show for more than seven weeks.

The duo are currently scheduled to return to ITV on Monday, September 7, the same day that This Morning's Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby are also back and ITV launches its autumn schedule.

Morgan has recently agreed a deal that will keep him on GMB until the end of 2021, while Reid's contract is currently due to expire this November.
