Blair joins former One Show hosts on new breakfast sofa
The former One Show hosts welcomed viewers to the inaugural Daybreak programme in their new South Bank studio boasting spectacular views of the London skyline.
The show, replacing long-running GMTV, featured a range of items from a live interview with former prime minister Tony Blair, to interviews with the parents of babies whose birth coincided with the launch of Daybreak.

"The view is simply magnificent," he added as the camera showed the view of London landmarks outside.
Earlier, Chiles walked across the studio to chat with sports presenter
Dan Lobb. "See how smoothly I did this," he said as he made his way over to Lobb.
