Lorraine and Aled fail to impress with new show

TELEVISION presenters Lorraine Kelly and Aled Jones relaunched ITV1 show Daybreak yesterday – but some viewers appeared to be less than impressed.

The breakfast show was revamped after its former hosts, Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles, failed to pull in viewers.

Kate Garraway – who will continue to present the programme on Fridays – and Dan Lobb fronted the show in the run up to yesterday’s highly-anticipated launch.

As this morning’s programme got under way, viewers posted their feedback on Daybreak’s website.

Andrew-Melissa Lee wrote: “What next? Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley comeback?

“It seems someone’s out to ruin the show! Just as the show was getting back on its feet with good presenters that people relate to, it looks like it’s back to the dark ages for Daybreak!...It looks like the show hasn’t listened one bit to the viewers since they got rid of GMTV!”

Mandy Aitken wrote: “Can’t believe Dan and Kate have gone, switch the TV on this morning and I thought I was watching BBC. How boring are these two people......”

Karen Mellott wrote: “Why are you changing things? I liked Kate and Dan. I switched from the BBC. Now looks like I will be going back to the BBC. So sorry to see them go.”

Hannah Clements wrote: “How are these changes better? Ah well, over to BBC Breakfast.”

Gilly Kenworthy wrote: “The studio colours are awful. Don’t think I will be a Daybreak viewer much longer.”

But Audrey Ranson posted: “Wonderful!! Just what we need. New life. New blood!!!”
