Take a look at our new set
Good Morning Britain launches on Monday at 6am and the new presenting team have been rehearsing in a brand new studio.
Sitting behind a desk when the show starts, our four presenters, Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher, will move around the studio as they bring the very latest news to the nation.
“Our set is different, fresh and it’s not what people have been used to over the last couple of years in breakfast television,” explains Susanna. “It is something new and exciting for us. We all start behind the desk, which hasn’t happened for a while. It’s a good place for us all to be sitting.
“Is this a bold move? I think it makes it not a direct comparison to what is on the other side. It marks us out as distinctive. We are more of a team than a pairing.”
Sean agrees: “The sofa, the on-screen couple is where breakfast TV started and it has gone all the way through. It is great to move away from that and try something different. But it is not just the set. Four presenters rather than a couple is great. Yes you have marriages but you also have groups hanging out. Ours feels more like a family.”
Charlotte adds: “With our new set, it does have a different feel to it and it is so great to be starting something afresh.”
And Ben says: “The set is a bit like a fairground ride – there is loads of things going on and it is different, stylish and sexy. I am chuffed.
“But we will still have a sofa in the studio to carry out some interviews. There will still be that familiarity.”
Tune in Monday at 6am.
