"It was a total shock."

Adil Ray has been a regular fixture on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

He temporarily replaced Piers Morgan as presenter on the show in 2018.

A year later, Adil became a guest presenter on the show and has since hosted it alongside the likes of Susanna Reid and Ranvir Singh.

Since the exit of presenter Ben Shepherd in 2024, Adil fronts the show with people including Kate Garraway, Laura Tobin, and Charlotte Hawkins.

However, it has been alleged that Adil Ray’s job on the programme may be hanging in the balance.

The news came after ITV reportedly undertook a massive shake-up in front of the camera and behind it.

Good Morning Britain is not the only show to be affected by the major changes.

Shows including Loose Women and Lorraine are also said to be impacted.

Both programmes are facing the prospect of being telecast for only 30 weeks a year. 

While Good Morning Britain will be extended to a 9.30 am finish, Lorraine will lose half an hour from its runtime.

An ITV insider commented: “Everyone was completely blindsided.

“It was a total shock, and people are feeling very deflated because nobody saw this coming.

“Viewing figures are actually up for Lorraine, and Loose Women has been scooping awards recently.

“Staff are really panicking about their jobs. Many have worked at daytime for decades and are completely heartbroken.

“There’s now a scramble for who will wait for a payout and who wants to stay.”

Adil Ray’s time on Good Morning Britain has not been without controversy.

In January 2025, viewers demanded the firing of the presenter after he reportedly fat-shamed Luke Littler.

He criticised the darts champion’s weight and said: “I’m a little bit worried about Littler.

“He’s 17 and he’s turning into the look of a darts player. He has admitted to having pizzas before a match.”

“He’s going to get more successful, and he can keep on doing it, but I don’t want him to get too unhealthy.

“If I were his mum and dad, I mean, he’s sort of – look at him.

“He’s admitted he has pizzas before a match and sits there playing computer games. I just think I’m a bit worried.”

Alongside being a presenter, Adil Ray has also acted in his career.

He is famous for portraying Mr Khan in the BBC sitcom Citizen Khan, which he also created and co-wrote.
