Good Morning Britain viewers have been left divided by the show's April Fool's Day prank.
The segment started with a pearl necklace being brought into the studio, which was said to have been a honeymoon gift to Marilyn Monroe from her second husband Joe DiMaggio. It was then announced that the new owner of the necklace had given presenter Charlotte Hawkins permission to try on the priceless artefact.
However, when she did so, the necklace unthreaded with pearls falling all over the studio. Following a rather awkward couple of minutes, in which Charlotte and co-host Richard Madeley appeared unsure on what to do, it was revealed that the necklace had absolutely no value or link to Marilyn and was a part of an April Fool's Day trick.
This prank left viewers rather divided, with some falling for trick while others claimed it was "too obvious." Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one viewer wrote: "Obviously an April fool #AprilFoolsDay #gmb." "That was the worst April fools ever! The acting was sh*t #GMB" added another, while a third penned: "#gmb Oh FFS April fool bloody obvious." However, some other viewers did in fact fall for the prank, with one writing: "Omg I thought that was real [laughing emoji] I was like wtf they have just broke marilyns freaking necklace #gmb." And a second wrote: "Omg literally jumped when the necklace broke!!! #AprilFools @GMB #GMB." It comes after usual GMB host Susanna Reid announced that she would be absent from the show for the next couple of weeks. As the show came to an end on Thursday (28 March) she told viewers: "That brings us to the end of Good Morning Britain, we're back tomorrow from 6am.
