Good Morning Britain returned to TV screens on Thursday with a new episode, fronted by Kate Garraway and Ed Balls. The duo brought ITV viewers all the latest headlines, with Melvin Odoom providing entertainment updates. Guests included Tony Christie. One big talking point was the NHS , as it had been revealed that Sir Kier Starmer was set to unveil new plans to overhaul the health service during a speech later in the day. Kate and Ed were joined by Dr Amir Khan, GMB’s resident doctor, to discuss the plans and the reaction from the UK public so far. He tuned in via video call from a GP surgery in West Yorkshire. While Dr Amir shared his thoughts on the latest NHS plans, GMB viewers were more distracted by the GP’s transformation. He was seen sporting a thick moustache, a huge change from his usual clean-shaven look, which prompted a big reaction from TV fans. “Dr Amir needs to lose the tash. #GMB,” one person stated. Another wrote on X: “Check out Dr Amir with his moustache.” A third GMB fan said: “Not sure about the tashe lol!” while others questioned the sudden trend of growing a moustache, with one person saying: “What is with this obsession with moustaches atm? They’re everywhere #gmb.” “Moustaches, whether they are ironic or not, need to go. #gmb,” another GMB viewer said. During his segment on Thursday’s GMB, Dr. Amir discussed the proposed NHS plans’ positive and negative aspects. The Prime Minister is due to outline the government’s plans to overhaul the NHS during a speech on Thursday. He said the NHS needs to “reform or die” and provide patients with “easier, quicker and more convenient care, wherever they live”. Dr Amir said moving “care into the community” will be a positive thing, as this means care will be closer to patients and more staff will be under the same roof, making treatment much easier to access. He went on to raise questions about the infrastructure and how the new plans will actually be implemented, while highlighting the lack of jobs available for GPs at the moment, despite high demand. Good Morning Britain airs on weekdays from 6am on ITV1
