Good Morning Britain's Andi Peters swapped the sunny beaches of the Maldives for a dreary skied Hampshire village to plug ITV's competition today following the broadcaster's budget cuts.
MailOnline yesterday revealed how the broadcaster has stopped sending Andi, 54, and Jeff Brazier, 46, to luxury locations across the world including South Africa and Thailand, to promote their competitions.
It is understood GMB bosses feel it's in 'bad taste' to continue jetting the presenters off to far-flung destinations after ITV announced hundreds of redundancies across daytime shows Lorraine and Loose Women.
This year alone, Andi has been flown to the Maldives, Australia, Cape Town, and Florida, while Jeff broadcasted from Thailand, Sri Lanka and Malta, which according to insiders, has 'irritated' production staff who have since been told their roles are at risk.
In what seems like an attempt to curb the backlash, producers today sent him just two hours up the road from London's Television Centre to Portchester - a little village in the borough of Fareham in Hampshire.
