Paul Brand makes debut on GMB today
Today’s edition of GMB saw a new presenter join the show’s ever-growing line-up.
Paul Brand, the UK editor for ITV News, joined Kate Garraway today to front the show.
“Welcome to the programme, and we’re talking about love matches, I’ve swiped right on Paul Brand,” Kate said at start of the show.
“I think I’m punching here Kate this morning,” Paul grinned.
“You’re really not,” she laughed.
When asked how he felt to be presenting GMB, Paul said: “Awake, which is a good thing.”
“I’ve got a one-year-old son, so he’s been good rehearsals for this early morning start,” he added.

“Having Paul Brand on #GMB after 3 days of the Judge Rinder show, is just awesome. More of this please!” another said.

“Paul ‘Bland’ is an excellent News Reporter, however clearly he is not suitable as a presenter,” one viewer said.

“It’s obvious that Paul Brand won’t be coming back again. Is he actually there? The only voice I am hearing is Kate. He is just not cut out to do a big programme like GMB,” another wrote.
“Absolutely no chemistry between them,” one tweeted.
GMB airs on weekdays from 6am on ITV and ITV Hub.
