Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles from Daybreak on ITV1.

ÂĐ ITV

Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley have reportedly been axed as hosts of Daybreak.

The pair, who were rumoured to be facing the chop earlier this month, will leave the ITV breakfast show within weeks after ratings failed to improve.

Chiles and Bleakley quit BBC's The One Show to join ITV on multi-million pound deals last year, but Daybreak ratings have fallen to figures as low as 350,000 in recent months.

A source told The Sun: "It's game over. ITV have tried everything to make the show work, but viewers are fed up with Adrian and Christine.

"The point of scrapping a well-liked brand like GMTV was to come up with something a lot better - but the opposite's been true."

Research has apparently concluded that viewers think Chiles is "grumpy" and see Bleakley as an "airhead".

An official announcement is expected on December 1 when new boss, former BBC Breakfast editor David Kermode, arrives. He is said to have taken the job on condition he could change the presenting lineup.

BBC Breakfast host Chris Hollins, former GMTV anchor Eamonn Holmes and Natasha Kaplinsky have been tipped as possible replacements, while Dan Lobb and Kate Garraway could be given bigger roles on Daybreak.

Bleakley was last night confirmed as the new host of Dancing On Ice after Holly Willoughby quit, apparently to present new BBC One singing competition The Voice.

I gave up watching after a few shows. It was dire. To me, Adrian looked uncomfortable most of the the time. It really didn`t suit him. He was brilliant on The Apprentice, I wish he`d never left.  

 

Christine is hopeless.She`s a presenter who thinks any gap should immediately be filled with inane talking and jolly laughing. She reminds me of Emma Willis *shudders*  How she managed to get the job on DOI, I`ll never know.

Never watched them, I assumed it was another version of GMTV which I hated.

 

If I ever watch early morning tv then I watch the Beeb as I prefer their presentation and news etc. We used to watch the Big Breakfast when my kids were growing up as they loved it.

Johnny Vaughn has apparently said he is leaving the Capital Radio brekkie show so he could be in the frame to present this show

ITV in the morning is pure shite.

This has got nothing to do with this thread..

But you need to know

I have had an epiphany.

 

I LOVE the Smiths and it is all thanks to the flipping JH advert. The OH played me the real version of that song .

And I was hooked.

 

 

I GET it

 

 

As you all were

iwas happy in the haze of a drunken hour, and heaven knows i`m miserable now..

 

I was looking for a job & then i found a job,

and heaven knows i`m miserable now

 

In my life, why do I smile,

at people who I`d much rather kick in the eye.........

And, just to put the thread back on topic, I always watch breakfast TV while I eat my breakfast, and I never, ever watch ITV because Daybreak is sooooo embarrassingly bad. The two presenters are just so wooden, it makes me cringe.
