Kate Garraway has pleaded with viewers to give Daybreak a chance.
The former GMTV presenter, who currently works as the entertainment editor on the ITV1 breakfast show, was responding to recent criticism of the program from a number of celebrities.
She wrote in her New magazine column: "The fabulous Louie Spence of Pineapple Dance Studios said he preferred GMTV and really misses Ben Shephard.
"And legendary broadcaster Chris Evans also said he had reservations. While I admire both of them, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I still believe that the more people see of Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley, the more they will love them."
Garraway also encouraged viewers who had not yet tuned in to Daybreak to make up their own minds on the program.
She added: "It's not easy launching a new show, so if you haven't seen it yet, watch it and let me know what you think."
