Good Morning Britain viewers brand guests 'mediocre' as they slam 'children's hour' slot

Good Morning Britain's latest episode didn't quite go down well with viewers as they took to social media to slam a particular segment.

The daytime show, hosted by Ed Balls and on Thursday (May 1), saw the presenters dishing out the top news stories across the country.

But when Celebrity stars Chesney Hawkes and Donna Preston appeared to share tales of their recent experiences and growing friendship during their stint in the notorious Big Brother house, not everyone was amused.

Chesney and Donna were obviously in high spirits, with Donna even breaking into a song she'd crafted during her time on the show, and Chesney sharing insights into how being isolated together in the house had sped up the bonding process, noting: "The experience accelerates your bonding, doesn't it because you have nothing else to do."

Despite Chesney's upbeat comment that "You've got no phone, no TV, no nothing. So all you got to do is get to know each other," reports .

However, viewers reactions weren't entirely positive. Taking to X, disgruntled fans shared their thoughts with one quipping: "Welcome to children's hour."

While another said: "Does anyone really care about Big Brother? Mediocre celebrities who no one knows."

A third added: "Celebrity I got paid to go on a TV show and I made friends for life segment."

And Donna's musical skills didn't escape criticism either with one viewer bluntly commenting: "OH THAT F***n' SONG!"

It came almost a week after actor Jack P. Shephard triumphed as the winner of the 2025 series.

The actor famed for his portrayal of David Platt in the soap recently confessed that none of his CBB housemates will make the guest list for his imminent nuptials. During an appearance on earlier this week, Jack disclosed: "No, I don't think so. Come on. I've only known them three weeks."

Dealing with an already extensive guest list, he mentioned, "Got guest list (a) mile long. He (Chris Hughes) keeps asking for an invite. Keeps on going, 'I'll see you at that wedding', I'm like 'I don't think you will pal', haven't even told him (the) date."

Good Morning Britain airs Mondays-Fridays from 6am on ITV1.
