Good Morning Britain will air on a Saturday for the first time in the show\u2019s history, with a special episode kick-starting the ITV Christmas Day schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pre-recorded episode will air from 7am on Saturday morning, hosted by Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway, in addition to the slate of celebrity guests expected to join them.<\/p>\n

The Christmas special will kick off with Shephard commenting on the Christmas \u201csandwich\u201d he finds himself in between his fellow presenters, before the three discuss whether or not they\u2019ve been \u201cnaughty or nice\u201d the past year.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman told The Sun<\/a>: \u201cThere is a special GMB Christmas Day show\u2026 GMB was due to be on air from Wednesday 29th to Friday 31st December 2021 but due to the pandemic and to protect our teams, we have decided to give them an extended break.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move comes after it was confirmed Good Morning Britain would not return next week<\/a>, due to the pandemic. Instead, the show will return on Tuesday 4th January 2022.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the show previously told RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cDue to the pandemic we have introduced some changes from today to protect our team both on and off-screen.\u201d<\/p>

COVID cases in the UK continue to rise in the run-up to Christmas, with GMB presenter Sean Fletcher having announced last week (Sunday 19th December) that he had tested positive for the virus.<\/p>\n
