Good Morning Britain viewers have got into a furious debate over whether to bother making your bed each day, with some calling it "disgusting" not to while others branded it a waste of time.

The ITV breakfast news show, hosted by Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway, asked viewers to vote on whether they made their beds each day after footballer Jude Bellingham admitted that his mum still makes his bed.

A huge 81% of viewers claimed to make their beds daily, while 19% admitted that they didn't bother with the household chore.

The question sparked some strong responses on social media as one viewer commented: "Always make your bed you disgusting peasant."

Someone else added: "I make my bed every day. Can’t believe that some people don’t."

Another horrified viewer wrote: "First people not changing their pants, and now not making their bed. That’s like saying your teeth will be dirty again after eating so why brush them? Have a word with yourself!!"

Someone else commented: "Make my bed every single day without fail. Would freak me out if I had to get into an unmade bed at night."

One viewer explained: "I make my bed every morning, because I served 38.5 years with the British army it's just a force of habit, due to room inspections."

But many people argued that the bed should be aired first and made later in the day as one person wrote: "Pull back duvet, straighten bottom sheet, tidy pillows & leave all day – #done. Bed needs airing. Making it first thing traps all the night’s poomps ughhh."

Another person shared: "I pull my duvet back and air the bed. I also spray Dettol clothes antibacterial spray on my bed every day. Bed gets changed once a week."

There were some that admitted to not bothering though, as one person wrote: "My daughter has eczema and doctors told me not to make the bed, to "air" it and dry it from sweat etc… also, life is too short!"

Someone else added: "Is absolutely no point in making the bed when you get out of it you’re only going to mess it up again I don’t see the point it’s a waste of time."

The debate spilled over into the studio, too, as Apprentice star Kayode Damali and Queen of Clean Lynsey Crombie butted heads over whether to do the chore.

Kayode claimed he could be making money during that time instead as he said: "There's no correlation between success and making your bed."

But Lynsey told him: "It's exercise, it gets your body moving, you can give the pillows a good bash. You do need to open the windows before you air it so those bed bugs can jump out and disappear. Your bed must be full of bed bugs, it must be a breeding ground for bacteria.

"We are a divided nation, it is personal choice. But I love structure, I love discipline."
