GMB Viewers Criticize Host's Outfit in Pope Death Announcement

Good Morning Britain faced criticism from viewers over its handling of the breaking news about Pope Francis’ death, particularly focusing on presenter Ranvir Singh’s attire during the announcement. The Lorraine show, hosted by Christine Lampard, was abruptly interrupted to shift to GMB, where Singh and co-host Richard Madeley delivered the sombre update. Singh, who had earlier been seen in a summery dress, donned a black jacket for the announcement, but viewers found the combination ill-fitting and unprofessional, with some speculating the jacket was borrowed last-minute from her co-host. Many took to social media to express that the outfit was distracting and inappropriate for such a serious moment, suggesting the newsroom would have been a more suitable setting. The transition from regular programming to the announcement was also described as abrupt, with Lampard cutting short an ongoing interview to relay the Vatican's statement. The on-air handling and attire choice became a focal point for criticism rather than the news itself.
