[5][6] The first edition of Daybreak was broadcast on 6 September 2010 with ex-hosts Chiles and Bleakley introducing viewers to the new set and admiring the view from the window.

It included an interview with Tony Blair[7] and a lead story by John Stapleton on the collapse of the Farepak Christmas savings club in 2006.

[11] In August, This Morning executive Karl Newton was being charged with the transition to ITV Studios and was revamping the slot to give it 'one last throw of the dice' to boost its ratings.

[15] On 12 December 2011, it was reported that Daybreak would target 'hassled mums' as part of its refreshed focus[16] and format changes, and a new presenting team were expected to be introduced in April 2012; however, these plans were delayed.

[22] On 8 December, ITV chief executive Adam Crozier defended the decision of hiring Chiles and Bleakley, saying it was necessary to 'take a risk'.

'[25][26][27][28] On 28 May, Ranvir Singh announced she was leaving BBC North West Tonight to join Daybreak, where she would present the first hour of the slot.

[30] On 28 August, it was confirmed Singh would become the newsreader following the first hour of Daybreak, and that BBC Weather presenter Laura Tobin was joining the slot.

However, some viewers liked the change and praised the step back to the original format of GMTV which the core audience had asked to return.

On 10 April, Kelly presented her final Daybreak before her Easter break, to concentrate on Lorraine, as part of a new contract she was offered.

Aled Jones and Lorraine Kelly presented the main part of the slot from 7 am until 8:30 am, focusing on human interest stories, showbiz gossip and lifestyle features.

News, Sport and Weather updates were presented by Ranvir Singh and Laura Tobin, along with a team of correspondents and experts.

Martin Lewis[1] is a money-saving expert who gave financial advice to viewers ranging from Gas, Electricity, Credit Cards, Insurance, Holidays, Savings, etc.

Daybreak was nominated for a National Television Award in the "Magazine Programme of the Year" category for 2011,[44] but failed to make the final shortlist.
