'GMTV' hosts annoyed over shake-up?

The stars of GMTV are annoyed at a shake-up of the presenting rota, it has been reported.

Their pairings have been swapped for the New Year. Fiona Phillips now hosts with Ben Shephard for the beginning of the week, then Kate Garraway with Andrew Castle at the end.

Castle is said to be particularly annoyed because his regular role is just two days per week. But all four preferred the previous arrangement of Phillips with Castle and Shephard with Garraway, according to the Mail on Sunday.

Phillips is seen as the main winner from the re-jig as, from next month, she will present four days a week for a six-week stint.

"Fiona will present the show Mondays to Thursdays for six weeks because, apparently, she has been accidentally overbooked," said a source. "This wouldn't normally happen as Kate has always had Thursdays and Fridays.

"Fiona is really flexing her muscles at the moment and now she has hinted she would like to present the show four times a week as a permanent term-time arrangement, which has annoyed some people."

A GMTV spokesman said: "It's not a shake-up. It's just a new year and things have changed a bit. Fiona will be doing a couple of four-day weeks but that sometimes happens. The rota is fluid."
