Ranvir Singh opened up about the reality of working on ‘splintered’ Good Morning Britain after ITV daytime cuts saw long-time colleagues axed.
The presenter, 48, is a familiar face to ITV viewers through her work on Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and game show Riddiculous.
Good Morning Britain was one of the shows affected by the scheduling shake-ups at ITV, which came into play in January.
The network has drastically slimmed down its daytime output, with more than 220 staff-members facing redundancy and a string of shows affected by reduced financial resources.
Speaking in a recent interview, Ranvir addressed the impact that the cuts have had on her colleagues, as well as the shows themselves.
She told the Express: ‘I have to say, whatever you do personally in your career doesn’t really equate to the difficulties that colleagues of mine behind the scenes have clearly felt.

‘I have said a fond farewell to lots of people I’ve worked with for over ten years, who have got up at the crack of dawn and worked in all the different departments.
‘A lot of those have stayed, because we’re still doing really well, the figures are great for Good Morning Britain and we’re doing well, but it has been a big change.
‘Nothing you do personally, obviously, that’s great, but you still miss the people that you have loved working with for over a decade on breakfast television.
‘I’m still in touch with a lot of them, and we chat and message.’
Ranvir added: ‘That family feel… whilst we might all be slightly splintered now, the memories never, ever fade, it’s a special kind of camaraderie you feel at 4am I have to say, it’s unusual.

‘Any shift worker will tell you, it’s a very different kind of working relationship that you form with people at that time of the morning.’
The changes to the ITV daytime shows saw Lorraine move to a 30-week schedule with episodes cut to just half an hour from 9:30 to 10am.
This Morning continues to air for two-and-a-half hours from 10am until 12:30pm, while Good Morning Britain has been increased by 30 minutes each day.
Loose Women will continue in its usual slot from 12:30pm to 1:30pm, but episode numbers have been reduced to a 30-week ‘seasonal’ based schedule.
At present, Ranvir presents Good Morning Britain each Friday alongside Kate Garraway.
Last week, the pair were joined in the studio by a ‘creepy’ guest for an interview – leaving Kate, 58, terrified.
She shrieked upon laying eyes on a ‘robot dog’ known as Spot, whom the duo introduced near the end of that episode.
Ranvir revealed Spot wowed on America’s Got Talent, but the mechanical canine was now being put to use at a decommissioned nuclear plant.
They utilise the robotic dog within areas at the Sellafield site in Cumbria which are ‘deemed too dangerous and toxic for humans to be in’.
Good Morning Britain airs on ITV1 and ITVX weekdays from 6am.
