ITV Good Morning Britain fans react as Boris Johnson finally agrees to go on show after hiding in fridge

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Good Morning Britain viewers have been left reacting to the news that Boris Johnson will finally appear on the programme for the first time in five years.

It was confirmed on Monday that Susanna Reid will speak to the Prime Minister at No.10 with the interview airing on Tuesday (May 3).

Mr Johnson's absence from appearing on the programme hasn't ever gone unnoticed, with Susanna and former host Piers Morgan regularly accusing him of snubbing the show, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic where the Government abstained from appearing on it for 201 days.

While it is five years since he properly spoke on the ITV news show, his chat with Susanna, 51, comes three years after Mr Johnson famously ran away from her and Piers by hiding in a fridge in the lead up to the 2019 general election.
