And it's good news for fans of Piers as he has confirmed the change will be for the "foreseeable future".
The 55-year-old star normally only hosts the programme Monday-Wednesday, with Ben Shephard taking over on Thursday and Friday.
He revealed the news last night on Twitter.
Responding to a fan who had praised GMB's updates on the health crisis, Piers wrote: "Thanks Tris, I'll actually be doing 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs) on @GMB for the foreseeable future, starting tomorrow."
