GMTV bosses are reportedly hoping to introduce a more serious tone when the morning show is revamped.

It is thought that executives plan to emulate the style of Sky News and could approach the channel's Afternoon Live anchor Kay Burley with a possible presenting deal.

Producers recently confirmed that "all areas" of the programme are currently under review, sparking speculation over the future of long-running hosts like Kate Garraway.

A source told the Daily Star: "Sky is the one people turn to for the big breaking news stories. We want that reputation.

"Kay Burley would be a great coup for us if we got her. Viewers like her and maybe she'd fancy moving back to terrestrial TV."

A spokesperson for GMTV recently insisted that "no decisions" had been made about the show's team.
