ITV Shows Mark VE Day With Presenter Shake-Ups

ITV marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day with special programming, featuring major presenter shake-ups and live broadcasts from significant locations across its flagship shows. Good Morning Britain saw Susanna Reid reporting from Westminster Abbey, Laura Tobin from the Tower of London, and Richard Gaisford from the National Memorial Arboretum, covering commemorative events with veterans and families. Meanwhile, This Morning replaced regular hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley with Emma Willis and Rylan Clark, who hosted an outdoor VE Day street party segment. Both shows included celebratory events, music, and interviews, creating a festive and respectful atmosphere. Viewer reactions were largely positive, particularly regarding Emma Willis's return after 11 years, though some viewers had mixed opinions about the outdoor format. These programming choices highlight ITV's commitment to engaging audiences with special events and popular presenters.
