Good Morning Britain left fans rather annoyed during the latest episode, as entertainment correspondent Richard Arnold headed over to Australia.
The 53-year-old was reporting from Down Under as he gave insight into what the stars of I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! did before they headed into the Aussie jungle. Providing his take, Richard spoke to presenters Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins via video link.
But although the segment was informative and light-hearted, some viewers thought it was a waste of money. Heading over to X, formerly known as Twitter, fans of the show shared their grievances.

One viewer said: “Waste of money spending a ticket to Australia for Richard… Zero Talent…” Another fan fumed: “Richard Arnold on his all expenses paid ITV jolly.”
While a third added: “Now this, on an all-expenses bloody carbon massive footprint holiday… They’re on the take.”
Richard’s appearance in Australia isn’t the first time GMB has come under fire for sending their presenters across the globe. Host Andi Peters often receives backlash when he jets off to luxurious locations to deliver news on the latest ITV competition.
Andi, who headed to the jungle last year to report, left fans outraged this year to present his competition from South Africa. But given the fact that Good Morning Britain is keen to highlight climate change, fans couldn’t understand why they flew him away so far.
Taking to social media at the time, one viewer wrote: “Andi Peters is on @GMB this morning in South Africa pushing his competition. No doubt #GMB will be highlighting the #ClimateEmergency numerous times this year trying to make the rest of us feel guilty about jetting of for a week in Benidorm. They’re taking us for a bunch of mugs.”
While another said: “@itv @GMB #GMB must spend a fortune on sending Andi Peters abroad just to advertise a competition. Not very green of them is it!!”
Later on in the show, GMB ex-campmate Sue Cleaver appeared on the show. Talking to Sue and the news anchors via video link, Richard explained how loyal and dear a friend Corrie star Sue is to him.
Richard then said: “I tell you what, it’s so cold out here, the luxury item they’ve given me is nipple plasters. I know you can’t see them that’s offending people at home having their breakfast!”
