Curiosity made me tune in after the weekend rumours about Chiles & Bleakley.
Imagine my horror to be greeted by that gurning cretin Garraway!
BBC1 was on within 2 seconds!

He looks really awkward and uncomfortable this morning, something must've been said in the pre show briefing.
Christine didn't.
Surely ITV are not going to make them appear until April.
Maybe they will stay on until Christmas?
If they decide on new presenters i will give Daybreak a chance, But if they stick with Garraway i will stick with the BBC. Call me old fashioned but in the morning i like to hear some actual News and not a story about a handbag that smells of fish!
(The cynic in me believes they only reported that story so they could mention Marks & Spencers for a nice 'fee')
I'm not too keen on her either anymore, its funny but when she was on GMTV I could just about tolerate her. Whatever happened to that female irish presenter they used to have on - had the unusual name beginning with G, wonder if they would bring her back at all?
Grainnie Seioge (or something like that)
She was nice but i can imagine her broad Irish accent annoying some viewers

Chiles confirmed the story in an interview with a Sunday newspaper. ITV have not denied the story.
I read somewhere Bleakley Tweeted a sarcastic Tweet regarding the rumours in the Papers. But apparently she neither confirmed or denied the story!
I think its official now, and a statement with details direct from ITV would be nice.
Despite everything that has gone on between Adrian, Christine and ITV, its no way for them to find out that they are being sacked, its a shame they were not told in private.
Today's Mail does make me wonder if nothing has been decided and someone with a vested interested has leaked something to the tabloid to put pressure on ITV to make a decision.
It all seems to be originate with the one story in the Mirror, Chiles seems to say that is where he heard about it and does not seem to know any more though there has obviously been speculation for ages. The fact that a story appears in lots of papers does not prove anything as they tend to just be very incestuous.
Chiles and Bleakley are furious after the fact that ITV have dumped them from Daybreak was leaked to the media. They were told last week that they would be axed from the programme as the ratings have slumped.They will be replaced in the new year.
Names linked to taking over are Natasha Kaplinski :eek: Chris Hollins :eek::eek: Eamon Holmes :eek:and Helen Fospereo
Also it is possible (sorry groovesection etc) Kate Garroway and Dan Lobb may have their duties increased. :eek:
Apparently ITV say Adrian is being dropped because he is too "grumpy" and Christine because of her "wag status":rolleyes:
Both are staying with IRV, with Adrian will continue with football coverage and Christine will take over from Holly Willoughby on Dancing on Ice.
Adrian has football and for some reason "That Sunday Night Show" has been returned for a 3rd season, maybe that is his Dancing on Ice.
Well that guarantees i watch either BBC or Sky in the mornings
I mentioned that in another thread, If the ratings are significantly down on what ITV are expecting Christine could easily be made the scape goat!
Imagine the scenario:
DOI hits all time audience low and Christine is blamed/made a scape goat.
TV work dry's up because she burnt her bridges with the BBC.
She would then be totally free to become the WAG she wants to be and have kids (she is not getting any younger)
Then Lampard will dump her for a younger model and Christine will live out her Days in a Gin soaked haze with loads of Cats in a bedsit in Houndslow
