Lorraine Kelly joined Piers Morgan as a co-host on Good Morning Britain today.
But many ITV viewers didn’t seem to be loving the new set-up.
Scottish presenter Lorraine, 60, usually hosts her show on the network at 9am.
However, instead she replaced Charlotte Hawkins and joined Piers on GMB at that time.
It was announced yesterday that Lorraine and Loose Women would both be axed amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Many seemed baffled by the new set-up online, judging by the Twitter reaction.
One wrote: “If Lorraine’s usual show has been postponed/cancelled then why the f**k is she even there?!”
While another added: “You can tell from Lorraine’s face that she is FUMING to be sat next to Piers!.”
A third chimed in: “I just don’t see #Lorraine playing second fiddle to Piers Morgan – this new show won’t work.”
While a fourth probed: “Oh no, what’s she doing here?!”
Lorraine self-titled chat show aired as usual last week, however Loose Women decided to axe their live studio audience to encourage social-distancing.
ITV bosses decided the live shows would not air from Monday March 23 onwards, in an effort to protect the health of the crew.
Their statement read: “‘ITV Daytime has taken the decision to stop broadcasting Lorraine and Loose Women live from Monday 23rd March.
“This decision has been made to minimise the number of staff travelling in and out of our studios and working together on shift at any one time.

“We’re focusing our efforts on providing to viewers the latest news on the rapidly changing situation which aims to offer some stability and continuity in all our lives whilst so many of us are at home right now.
“That’s why we have taken this tough decision to protect our GMB News programme in the morning and keep This Morning on air for as long as possible.”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
