GMA's Michael Strahan, Robin Roberts & George Stephanopoulos all absent after 'fury' over Amy Robach

MICHAEL Strahan, Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos were all absent from Good Morning America on Friday.

The trio angered fans by ditching their main anchor duties as they were replaced by Gio Benitez, Cecilia Vega and Eva Pilgrim.

Gio, Cecilia and Eva were also joined by Lara Spencer later on in the show.

Michael and Robin have both missed their fair share of GMA broadcasts in recent weeks.

There was no explanation given as to why Michael, Robin and George were all absent on Friday.

However, it didn't go unnoticed by viewers at home, with one frustrated fan tweeting: "Where are your anchors?

"It’s like their projects come before the show. Your top 3 are constantly gone. Puts a damper on the show."

The panel shakeup comes after GMA co-hosts Amy Robach and TJ Holmes' rumored cheating scandal.

Amy and TJ are both legally married but have reportedly been having an affair for six months, according to The Daily Mail.

Amy and TJ were spotted enjoying what looked to be a series of PDA-filled "dates" and even a weekend getaway together last month.

In pictures obtained by the Daily Mail, the pair looked intimate while having a drink at a bar in New York City on November 10. 

The pair - who began anchoring GMA 3 in together in 2020 - reportedly headed to upstate New York on November 11 for a weekend getaway at a cottage two weeks before Thanksgiving

They were also caught apparently spending time together at each other's apartments in Manhattan. 

'AFFAIR' SCANDAL

TJ and Amy both abruptly deleted their social media pages on Tuesday after the shocking rumors emerged.

Robin and George are reportedly "furious" about the messy scandal, but have not commented on it publicly.

A source close to GMA production exclusively told The U.S. Sun they great pride in their team's reputation for demonstrating strong family values and happy marriages.

"George and Robin do not like this. This is very messy," the source explained, adding that the pair once prided themselves on not having a scandal like Today suffered in 2017.

"They prided themselves on not having a sex scandal, like Today once did with Matt Lauer.

"They were so proud all their hosts were decent, married and committed people." 

ROBIN'S REACTION

The source said that the news is more painful to Robin, who has an extremely close bond with Amy. 

"Amy and Robin are really close. Robin convinced Amy to get what would end up being a lifesaving mammogram on live TV. Their bond is very strong." 

The source added: "Robin is an idealist. She is the boss. When something goes off the rails she jumps in and tells people to tidy the mess up.

"And I'm not so sure there's a way to tidy this one up. This is all very dirty for a morning show." 

The Daily Mail claimed Amy and TJ's alleged affair started in June, if not sooner. 

An insider said: "Everyone knows that Amy and TJ have been close friends for a long time now, running together and even socializing as a foursome with each other's spouses." 

In March, Amy shared a photo of TJ with his arm around her husband Andrew Shue's shoulder during a day of training for the New York half marathon. 

They claimed it was "when they were in London together filming the Queen's Diamond Jubilee for ABC and staff were all over each other and staff were buzzing about the intimacy between them."
