Chris Page made his debut as a weather presenter on Good Morning Britain on Monday, July 27, stepping in temporarily for regular presenters Laura Tobin and Alex Beresford.
Warm Welcome from Viewers
Introduced by Richard Madeley, who said, "We've got a new weather guy today! If you are in the Anglia region, you'll know him - he's been doing it for years there. But he's got up very, very early and he's come all the way down from Norwich. Here's Chris with the weather," Page delivered his first forecast detailing patchy cloud and rain in the north and west.
Viewers praised his debut on X, with one writing, "@ChrisPage90 nice to see you present the weather report just now on @gmb @itvnews you look very dapper in your suit." Another called it "refreshing" to see a new weather reporter, while a third said: "We love this new weather reporter, he's got the likability."
