"Some breaking news to bring you in the past few moments," presenter Sean Fletcher began from the studio. "The results of a two-and-a-half year examination of water quality at one of the country's most picturesque spots have been revealed.

"Testing of Windermere has revealed really concerning pollution in England's largest and most famous lake."

Juliet explained: "This is an extensive survey that involved hundreds of volunteers who collected more than a thousand samples of water from right across Lake Windermere, some parts that had never been tested before.

"They found levels of harmful bacteria including E.coli that fail water quality standards. They are particularly concerned about the pollution levels during summer months when Windermere is at its busiest and hot spots right along the shoreline.

"Campaigners say decisive action is needed if Windermere is to improve and be protected for future generations."

As the camera returned to the studio, Sean replied: "That's really concerning in such a picturesque and beautiful, and really used, space."

"It really is," Adil added, while Kate said: "It's so popular."

Adil went on: "You can almost bare with how pollution might enter our rivers, but the lakes? They're not usually habited places, not a lot of people there necessarily."

Saying he wasn't "surprised" by the news, he added: "That's really worrying."

"It's those treasures we're destroying before our eyes," Kate added.

This comes after Adil's return to Good Morning Britain divided fans, as one person wrote on Monday (August 18): "I'll pass on that thanks," with another adding: "Nobody will get a word in with these two presenters. Switches over."

A third said: "No thanks," while another similarly shared: "Worst pairing ever. You can do better than this."

Meanwhile, other viewers have shared their delight at Adil's appearance, with one person writing: "Yes! Love Adil! But to be honest all the @GMB presenters are really good."

Another added: "I like this pairing on GMB. At heart, both exceptional interviewers," while a third said: "What a great pair today."
