The presenter shake-up comes after reports that Susanna Reid and Lorraine Kelly have allegedly been left fuming that ITV bosses are steering A-list guests to This Morning amid the show’s plummeting ratings.
According to The Sun Susanna, 53, and Lorraine, 64, have both ‘been vocal’ claiming they are missing out on interviewing top names.
This Morning, which unveiled new presenters Cat Deeley, 47, and Ben Shephard, 49, in March, has interviewed the likes of Ryan Gosling, Meghan Trainor and Steve Carrell in recent months.
A source claimed there was infighting between the production crews, telling the publication: ‘Susanna has been vocal about wanting bigger names and is frustrated they’re going elsewhere’.
‘Lorraine has voiced the same view’.
Before adding: ‘It feels like big stars are being shipped to This Morning to try and pull them out of a hole.’

In May This Morning was reportedly in crisis after ‘viewing figures plummeted by half’.
Since the new hosts took over Holly Willoughby, 43, and Phillip Schofields, 62, slot, half a million viewers have stopped tuning into the ITV Daytime show.
With over a million viewers watching Ben and Cat’s first day back in March, two months later figures currently stand at less than 500,000 – a dramatic drop.
