This is a list of the on-air team members for the ITV Breakfast programme Good Morning Britain which began broadcasting in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2014.

On 3 March 2014 it was announced that Sean Fletcher, Charlotte Hawkins, Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard would become the main presenters of the programme. John Stapleton, Ranvir Singh & Kate Garraway also presented the show on a regular basis.[1]

In 2015, the show received a shake up which meant that the show went down to just 2 main presenters with 1 newsreader. Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid remained the main presenters, with Charlotte Hawkins moving to the newsreader position. Stapleton, Singh & Garraway continued to be regular main presenters and newsreaders. Fletcher moved to the position of Sport Editor.

In September 2015, Shephard confirmed he would cut his days down to just 2 days a week presenting on Thursdays and Fridays.

In November of the same year, Piers Morgan joined the show as a main presenter alongside Reid presenting Monday-Wednesday.[2]

From November 2015-March 2021, the presenting line-up remained mostly the same with just the newsreaders occasionally switching positions.

From March to July 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sister show Lorraine was cancelled so presenter Lorraine Kelly joined as the host of the new fourth hour of Good Morning Britain.[3]

In March 2021, following comments Morgan made about Meghan Markle, he left the programme. A rotation of guest and relief presenters have replaced his slot alongside Reid. Regular rotating co-presenters include Richard Madeley, Adil Ray, Martin Lewis, Robert Rinder and Ed Balls.[4]

In September 2022, Martin Lewis will present on Mondays, alongside Reid. The usual rotation of guest and relief presenters will continue to present on Tuesdays and Wednesdays on a rotational basis.[5]
