From January 2022, the format to the show changed between 6 and 7 am. The two main presenters start at 6 am (previously 6:30) and present the main story and then the day's newsreader (who used to present solely from 6 to 6.30 am) presents the rest of the day's news. Following the weather forecast and an overview of the local news, the morning's papers are then reviewed by guests.

Good Morning Britain aired two special episodes on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 September 2022, in reflection of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.{{Cite web|date=10 September 2022|title=Itv Schedule Changes: Sunday 11 September 2022|url=https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/itvsch-sun11sept22}}
