Fans of the popular show have pleaded for Martin Lewis to take over the reigns of Good Morning Britain full-time but the Money Saving Expert won't be jumping into Piers Morgan’s old shoes any time soon.

The familiar GMB face told eager fans after his successful stint alongside Susanna Reid on Monday and Tuesday: “Many kind comments about me doing @GMB more permanently.

“Sadly the workload and hours mean its not compatible with my day job, so I can’t do more. Shame, as I enjoy the challenge.

“Yet being the Money Saving Expert is m’calling and where I think I’ve most impact. I can’t risk that.”

Fans responded: "We need you there too, more than ever!"

Another added: "You are without doubt a true man of the people. Many in your shoes would just sit back and enjoy but you continually strive to use your platform for those that don’t have a voice. The phrase “National Treasure” is overused but you definitely deserve that title."

A third praised: " There is always a way...have you considered cloning yourself?"

Martin joked: "Yes but it hurts!"

In November, an ITV rep told The Sun: “GMB is performing well with its established family of presenters and a rotation of guest presenters.”
