Good Morning Britain star confirms exit and replacement ‘I’m retiring from public life’

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN is undergoing a huge shake-up as one presenter has revealed they’re taking an indefinite hiatus form the morning news show.

 Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain

 Showbiz reporter Richard Arnold will be taking a well-earned break from co-stars Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid in the New Year following the festive season. 

Arnold broke the news on Good Morning Britain today in a miniature heartfelt speech.
"I'm retiring from public life,” he told millions of viewers. “I’m disappearing for a while – who knows when I'll be back. 
“You know what it's like in this business."
 While fans mourn their beloved reporter, they’ll be delighted to hear that I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Iain Lee will be filling his boots in the mean time. 
Lee was seen in Arnold’s dressing room ready for his new role, albeit a little prematurely, drawing bears on pictures of his predecessor. 
"Hello Richard, Iain Lee here," he teased. "I'm only filling in for you for a couple of weeks so please don't panic.
"I haven't got time to get my own publicity pictures so I'm just colouring in the beards here. Saves me a bit of money. Have a great break by the way!"
 However, Arnold wasn’t laughing: “There he is in my dressing room. Oh wow. Already settling himself in on my pleather with my fan art – the only piece of fan art I own.
 "He's 'temporarily filling in' – we know what that means in this business. That's showbiz!"
The news comes after Rylan Clark-Neal confirmed he will be taking a break from showbiz duties on This Morning, being replaced by I’m A Celebrity winner Georgia Toffolo.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.

UN threatens sanctions over faltering peace deal in Mali

The UN Security Council on Wednesday gave parties to a peace deal in Mali until the end of March to show progress or face sanctions for obstructing the 2015 agreement. The council unanimously adopted a French-drafted statement that “expressed a shared sense of impatience regarding the persistent delays” in making the agreement a reality on the ground. Council members “expressed their intention to follow the situation closely and to respond with appropriate steps should the parties not implement the commitments” by the end of March, the statement warned. Islamic extremists linked to Al-Qaeda took control of the desert north of Mali in early 2012, but were largely driven out in a French-led military operation launched in January 2013. Mali’s government signed a peace agreement with coalitions of armed groups in June 2015 to end the fighting, but insurgents remain active, including in central Mali. Last week, the government and two other armed groups, the Plateforme and Coordin...

New Porsche 911 Turbo spied – next-generation of the all-weather supercar incoming

Image
Porsche’s next generation 911 Turbo spied with tell-tale side intakes and wide body. Should go on sale late in 2019 Prototypes of the next generation   Porsche 911   have been spotted multiple times already, but images have just surfaced of a development car sporting some telling details that suggest it might wear the famous   Turbo   badge. Some chunky wheelarch extensions and side-mounted intakes are visible in the spy pictures, signs leading to the assumption that - like the current 991 generation Turbo - the new car will feature a wider body than other 911s.   Judging by these images, the next 911 will probably do without any shocking changes to its aesthetic, rather the new car will focus on modernising the 911’s detailing without straying too far from Porsche’s comfort zone. At the front, the grille openings look to be shared with standard 911 prototypes that have already been spotted, expect these to be changed for production. Like t...

‘I can’t guarantee Sanchez’s stay at Arsenal’

Image
Arsenal’s Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez celebrates after scoring their third goal during the English Premier League football match between Crystal Palace and Arsenal at Selhurst Park in south London on December 28, 2017. Manager Arsene Wenger says he cannot guarantee that striker Alexis Sanchez will remain at Arsenal long term, after the forward scored twice in the victory at Crystal Palace on Thursday night. The Chile striker can leave for free this summer when his contract expires and he has been linked with a move to league leaders Manchester City, who failed in their bid to sign him on deadline day.When asked about the 29-year-old’s future, the Frenchman said: “Nobody knows what will happen. It’s difficult to speculate. “We are focused on short term, that means the next game with the players committed and ready to fight. It’s not a guarantee of how long you stay somewhere.“They are questioned, always, when people don’t have long contracts. The best way to show they are co...
