Daybreak is a disaster, admits Chiles

ITV invested a reported £15million in the launch of Daybreak in September, poaching former One Show hosts Bleakley and Chiles from the BBC and building a state-of-the-art studio. But figures released in October revealed that just 530,000 viewers were tuning in – a third of the number watching its main rival, BBC Breakfast.

It is also 200,000 fewer than its predecessor GMTV, which was axed by ITV bosses in an attempt to bring in more breakfast viewers.

In an astonishingly frank admission, the presenter said one of the reasons the show has failed to attract big ratings was because he is grumpy – something he blamed on the early starts.



Nah, it's because he and Bleakley are just a pair of overaged, overrated and overpaid unattractive amateurs ..... :joker:

What makes me LOL is the fact they axed GMTV when there was ****** all wrong with it, to bring in more 'Breakfast views' with all due respect,

Who the ****** is going to set their alarms and get up early to see those two boring *****s talk in the morning on Day Break?

They should of been grateful with what they were getting on GMTV, This is the perfect example of an Epic Fail.


Still though,
Nice to know Big Brother 11 was more watched than something else :D

I've never seen it. But I saw them on the One show a few times, I liked them on that, but it seems like all they care about is money.

GMTV was great. Not sure why they decided on the sudden (awful) change

:( *wants them back on The One Show*

I didn't watch The One Show that much but I find it completely unwatchable now, I can't take to that Welsh Bleakley clone and Blue Peter bloke does my head in too, in fact its just turned into an adults Blue Peter.

GMTV was fine as it was, they could have done with a revamp of the set, music etc (Daybreaks set is v nice now) but thats about where their troubles ended. Daybreak was unwatchable at first but now its just exactly how GMTV used to be- even down to Kate Garraway presenting 1 or 2 days a week! It just defeats the entire purpose and they should have just revamped GMTV instead. I still can't take to BBC3 girl on the newsdesk either, and I miss the Newshour. I just miss Penny Smith in general :( But I prefer Adrian & Christine over Andrew & Emma

GMTV was great- Daybreak is diabolical.
