Kem Cetinay hits back at criticism of his and Amber’s presenting debut on GMB

The Love Island winners replaced Richard Arnold

Today’s Good Morning Britain saw some unlikely presenters take to the screen as Love Island’s Kem and Amber hosted a celebrity news segment.

Kem Cetinay and girlfriend Amber Davies read out the showbiz headlines in their first presenting gig. They took the place of Richard Arnold who usually discusses the latest celeb goss.

Bless them they tried their best at the whole presenting malarky but hoards of viewers criticised their efforts, saying they didn’t do a good job at all.

One viewer tweeted: “Everyone knows I’m a big fan of Love Island… But Kem & Amber presenting and reading the autocue on GMB is painful. They’re not natural.”

Another tweeted: “Ken and Amber on GMB Amber sounds so fake reading the autocue, not made for telly.”

The couple addressed the haters during the show. GMB hosts Richard Madeley and Ranvir Singh asked the pair if they’d had any feedback of their presenting on social media, and that’s when Kem hit back.

Kem said: “I went on my Twitter and I’m not going to lie both of us have been getting a bit of stick, but like we’re giving it a go, we’re doing our best, give us a break, guys.”

He added: “People are saying we don’t know what we’re doing.

“It’s not like we have an autocue at home, do you know what I mean?”

Amber said: “We are trying our best.” Aw we know you are guys!

Kem even admitted to being quite a fan of Piers Morgan, after using his dressing room before the show, and he even said he was wearing Piers’s aftershave!

Kem and Amber were the winners of Love Island 2017.
