GMB will not broadcast next week, but will be back on air on Tues 4th Jan 2022,\u201d said a spokesperson for ITV.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A source told newspaper The Sun, which broke the news of \u201cGMB\u2019s\u201d hiatus, that staffing shortages and concerns another lockdown will shortly be imposed contributed to the decision. Boris Johnson is due to make a decision imminently about whether a two-week \u201ccircuit breaker\u201d lockdown will be mandated before or after Christmas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The cancellation of a week\u2019s worth of shows is unprecedented for \u201cGMB,\u201d which continued to air throughout the height of the pandemic, including repeated lockdowns. It speaks to\u00a0how severe the COVID-19 situation is in the U.K., with records having repeatedly been broken in terms of number of positive cases over the last week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On Sunday, \u201cGMB\u201d presenter Sean Fletcher revealed he had tested positive for Covid following both a lateral flow and PCR test.
