Sharing a snap alongside his co-host Susanna Reid, he wrote: "For the avoidance of doubt, this is definitely the real Susanna Reid and not the Deep Fake version I found myself co-hosting with yesterday!

"I’m in tomorrow with Ranvir, then next week it’s over to Richard Madeley for his fortnight in the hot-seat - and as we learned from the AI experts, I’ve briefed him to always check for the ‘join'."

However, fans were left less than impressed that Richard would be covering for his time off, with one writing: "Oh no.. 2 weeks of Madeley.. hurry back Ed."

A second added: "So is it that how it is now? 2 weeks RM and 2 weeks you? Have to say I prefer your presenting over RM."

A third commented: "Noooo. He soo loves himself not like Ed."

A fourth said: "Oh why RM and TWO weeks."

Just last month Ed delighted his fans by announcing his return to the show after being "replaced" by Richard Madeley.

He had been missing from the show as Richard stood in to host with Susanna.

Ed also recently left his fans stunned as the former Labour politician had a painful mishap on air.

Susanna and Ed were discussing uncomfortable aeroplane seats.

Ed sat behind Susanna in seats brought into the studio, and while trying to get cosy he kicked her in the head.

He looked truly sorry at the mishap, with Susanna later joking: "I don't think we have ever settled a debate so quickly into the show."

Ed joined GMB in July 2022 as a permanent presenter after having first appeared as a guest presenter in November 2021.
