GMB host Piers Morgan reveals the programme had its highest EVER ratings

Piers Morgan has revealed Good Morning Britain achieved its highest ever viewer ratings on Tuesday.

The TV host, 55, took to Twitter to share the news that the programme peaked at 33 per cent audience share during the episode.

Piers also revealed that the average share for the programme was 27 per cent, as he noted it was a ‘great’ way to celebrate his fifth anniversary on the show. 

Writing on his Twitter account, he penned: ‘BREAKING: Good Morning Britain had its highest ever ratings yesterday – 27% audience share, peaking at 33%. Great way to celebrate our 5th anniversary. Thanks for watching!’ 

Piers’ ratings war with BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker is documented on the broadcasters social media platform.

In June he reignited his playful feud with Dan as the BBC presenter celebrated a ‘small’ ratings victory.

He took to Twitter to reveal his programme was ranked the ‘number 1 breakfast show on TV’ ‘by some distance’, beating out his opponent’s ITV broadcast.

Taunting Dan’s win, Piers joked: ‘Factcheck: a much smaller distance than when Dan joined… In fact, this week we closed the gap to the smallest distance ever. Please don’t get fired mate!’

Match of the Day star Dan had marked his triumph by uploading an image of himself alongside his co-stars, which he captioned: ‘Thanks for all your comments about #BBCBreakfast so far this week. 

‘We really appreciate you tuning in, particularly at the moment, and making us the number 1 breakfast show on TV – by some distance. Thanks for watching @TVNaga01 & Charlie are back tomorrow from 6am.’ (sic)

After Piers commented on Dan’s tweet, a social media user questioned both of their comments as they asked: ‘Somebody is telling fibs. Who?’

The Final Score host displayed good sportsmanship as he responded: ‘They do a great job on GMB but it’s worth looking at the comparison figures.’ (sic) 

Another praised BBC Breakfast as they wrote: ‘I’ve been converted…@gmb no longer on the TV in my house and, my days start a lot better mentally ready for the day!’

A third said despite the figures, they prefer Good Morning Britain: ‘That’ll be me. It’s great telly. You and @susannareid100 are killing it.’ (sic)

Earlier in the week, Piers claimed his TV show had ‘highest ever ratings’, with 27 PER per cent audience share, peaking at 32 per cent.
