Viewers couldn’t help but cringe at GMB’s segment on Wrexham with singing cheerleaders in the ITV studio and clip of them losing.
As we know, there is a lot of hype around the National League leaders of late, amid a thriller race for the title, exciting results, the Hollywood backing and now promotion potentially confirmed this weekend.
With TV crews swarming Wrexham, Good Morning Britain took the opportunity to put the club in the spotlight with showbiz presenter Richard Arnold beginning the sequence by praising Phil Parkinson’s side, yet producers strangely played out a video of Sheffield United scoring with the 3-1 replay defeat at Bramall Lane in fact one of the dimmer moments in Wrexham’s season.
Arnold then rolled the doors back to reveal five cheerleaders dressed in red and black with white pom poms.
To the cheerleaders’ credit, there could be no faulting the effort to inject some sort of excitement ahead of Saturday’s home game against Boreham Wood.
Parkinson’s side sit four points clear at the top of the National League with two games to play and need a win or at least match Notts County’s result.
“Come on Wrexham, you can do it! One more match, and you’re into it,” they sang. “Go go, G-O, G-O, go boys go!”
I mean, to all you Wrexham hating fans, whatโs not to like about us, hey? ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ pic.twitter.com/oickiq2vit

As mentioned, viewers cringe at GMB’s segment on Wrexham with singing cheerleaders and clip of them losing…
@GutterShark83: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUNK HAVE I JUST WATCHED?! NO NO NO NO NO!! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
@AndyGittins: Why did they show a Sheff Utd goal against us? Embarrassing coverage this morning from GMB
@ConnorJames___: Didn’t really like wrexham before the takeover and still dont really like them. But i dont uave issue with takeover. Just bored of the media acting like wrexham are underdogs with a championship budget in the National League.
@beardywxm: Jesus Christ on a bike ๐๐๐
@LozEvans2: Oh god ๐คข๐คข๐คฃ๐คฃ
@wrexhamafc: @GMB Tell me, are you lot on drugs? Serious question. What on earth was THAT supposed to be? Totally embarrassing, Thank goodness Wrexham AFC had nothing whatsoever to do with that drivel.
@RBennettBWS: Dear God ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@Danny40906984: Embarrassing ๐
@roschele3: Yuck! Not Wrexhamโs fault. This is a British parody of American sports, and cheerleaders are a weirdly American. Just yuck. (Spoken as an American).
@kylios89: Wow, that is embarrassing. Also out of all the goals to show, it was one Sheff United scored past us…..lazy & makes a mockery of how important tomorrows game is which will be no easy 3pts. They will want to give us everything they have.
@tomwalley_pv: What the fuck have I just watched
@CurtPye: ๐คฎ this actually makes me feel sick
@jde_888: What, the actual fuck was that!?! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@daniel14f1: What the hell was that. And did anyone notice they used some Sheff United footage?
@carl__wilson: Wtaf… ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
@CariadFfisio: I was half expecting pat sharp to come on then. Btw them showing a sheff Utd goal shows how little the media care
@K_W_Dublin: There is so much to unpack thereโฆ.
@ScottMoreton5: They’re not the dragonettes
@NinaRobinson1: Cringe.
@LlewG19: Time to start over.. this is not it ๐
@DuanePWilliams: I just vomited in my mouth
@Jenks__: This is absolutely minging!
@Chambo751: Cringe, but not surprising any more. ๐ฅด๐คฃ
@WrexhamAFC4: Yeah I can understand why everyone hates us ๐
@jayjaydlj71: Wow. ๐๐๐๐๐ ridiculous
@Mark728475143: This makes me sad
@cardenlouis: Donโt know whatโs worse the MLS vibes or people from Cheshire suddenly starting supporting them๐คข
@_LiamRoberts: I wish there was a way to unsee a video
@cfcalex03: Jesus Christ, my eyes are burning ๐ญ
@TheDB30: Times like this make me glad I support a team the media donโt give a fuck about.
@CanadianRed1970: I don’t know what in the hell this was supposed to be, but what an absolute embarrassment. Note to British Media. Don’t try to be “American”. You look like idiots. @GMB
@JackRoberts93: Might be the worst thing Iโve ever seen this ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐๐
@youngkilshaw: Dear God @GMB… pound shop production this, more tacky Las Vegas than Hollywood. To be fair to @WrexhamFX the documentary has been respectful and decent throughout. Hooligan episode was a bit embarrassing but on the whole very good. But this sort of stuff can get in the bin!
@wrexhamcarl: @GMB what is this? Not seen anything this embarrassing since Piers Morgan ran out of your studio. 5 Women in ยฃ2 primark t-shirts, no wonder we are hated!
@chopperimp: What on earth is this.. ๐คก๐ช๐ Reason #459 to dislike Wrexham
@JSmithh92: Seen it all now ffs
Speechless… ๐๐๐
I dunno if this blown up morning TV attention is suppressing my anxiety or making it worst, lol pic.twitter.com/QXdxOHhXofโ Kieran (@KieranJ86) April 21, 2023
