Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid are gearing up for a couple of weeks away from their usual presenting desk.

The Good Morning Britain hosts are supposedly set to host the show until Friday 5 April before vanishing from screens for two weeks across the Easter break.

The presenting duo’s absence coincides with the Easter school holidays, giving Morgan the opportunity to spend time with seven-year-old daughter Elise.

Morgan and Reid are then expected to return to the breakfast show on Tuesday 23 April, after the Bank Holiday Monday with a slew of guest hosts expected to step in across the fortnight.

British TV presenter Richard Madeley will reportedly kick off the pair’s stint away, appearing on the show for the first three days of their absence according to The Sun.

Madeley is expected to be paired with show regular Kate Garraway during his time on-air.

Standard Online has contacted representatives of Good Morning Britain for comment.

The reports come after Morgan celebrated a successful day for the show on Thursday after finding out they had been nominated for their first ever slew of BAFTA TV awards.

The breakfast programme, which previously lost out on recognition to This Morning at the National Television Awards, bagged two nods under the News Coverage category for coverage of On A Knife Edge and the Thomas Markle exclusive.

An unusually positive Morgan took to Twitter to declare the nominations “pretty stunning”.

Sharing the news on Twitter, he wrote: “Pretty stunning to see GMB get HALF of all the Best News Coverage nominations in @BAFTA TV 2019 awards. Ps. you may have to all start calling me ‘Dahling’ after this #baftas.”

In order to take home the prize, GMB will face off against BBC’s coverage of Bullying and Harassment in the House of Commons and Channel 4’s Cambridge Analytica Uncovered broadcast.
