Piers Morgan is to join the Good Morning Britain presenting team alongside co-host Susanna Reid.

The former tabloid editor and TV presenter will join Reid three days a week from November on the ITV breakfast show.

He said: "I am very excited at the prospect of waking up at 3am every morning, and even more excited by the thought of how annoying Susanna is going to find me after a few months. Good Morning Britain is a great show with a terrific team on and off screen. I'm looking forward to it enormously."

The 50-year-old currently presents Piers Morgan's Life Stories on ITV. Between 2011 and 2014 he presented Piers Morgan Live on CNN in America.
