Good Morning America fans tuned in to watch the ABC daytime show on Monday morning - but quickly noticed a change to the usual format of the program.

Instead of Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos, the main hosts were instead Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, who filled in for the usual co-anchors at the start of the week.

This is because the trio were all off for an extended break following the Thanksgiving weekend.

Michael spent Thanksgiving with his loved ones too, and has since been busy promoting his fashion brand's latest collection, Michael Strahan Brand, on social media.

GMA has seen many anchors over the years, but George and Robin have been working together for over a decade, and recently were named the longest-running duo on daytime TV, working together now for 13 years on the ABC show.

The GMA anchors are incredibly supportive of each other and are often surprising their colleagues on air.

They celebrated Robin and Michael's birthdays earlier in the month, while George shone a spotlight on Amy and T.J. several weeks ago after they completed the New York Marathon.

Away from work it's no different either, and several GMA stars, including George, Lara Spencer and Amy, all attended Dr. Jennifer Ashton's wedding at the beginning of the month.
