Dr Hilary Jones, who is often referred to as just Dr Hilary, is an English GP, presenter and writer.
The London-born GP trained at the Royal Free Hospital before working as a junior doctor in Basingstoke for the NHS - and he still practises today.
The health expert made his television debut in May 1989 and has been with ITV ever since, keeping his spot as the Health Editor for the many incarnations of GMTV.
Dr Hilary now works as the resident doctor for Good Morning Britain, hosted by Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan - but is he paid as much as his co-stars?

Dr Hilary has been on screen every day since the start of the pandemic, as the ITV morning shows changed their format in response to the coronavirus.

The doctor has kept a calm head as he explains the dangers and risks of the coronavirus, as well as sharing his balanced opinions on how the government has reacted to the pandemic.
Dr Hilary has previously spoken out about money in an interview with The Telegraph, in which he shared how times were tough when he was growing up.
“My father was an NHS GP in the days when they worked around the clock and for very little money, so money was always tight,” he told the paper.
“While food in the cupboards and a roof over your head were always a given, anything else above that was a bit of a luxury.”

The doctor said he was “always aware of the value of money” and revealed that his best buys were his houses in North Hampshire.
He commented: “I think a choice of house that doubles or triples in value, especially when you have loved living there, is a really good way of increasing your cash flow.
“And the fact that selling your main home is a tax-free investment as well makes it very worthwhile.”
The star also said that having an “interest in vintage cars can be very financially draining”.

Dr Hilary revealed he lost £5,000 on a 1925 Fiat Doctor’s Coupe, and that he would never invest in cars now - nor would he ever buy a brand new car as they soon drop in value.
The sensible doctor said he trusts his finances to an independent financial adviser, who once saved him £6,000 in five minutes when he was planning on getting a mortgage.
However, he has had his extravagances - and once bought a villa in Marbella, which he considered a “luxury”, he told The Telegraph.
“Luckily, I did make money on it – I was fortunate that, because the property was in Marbella, it was not affected by the market slump, so I still made a decent profit,” he admitted.
The doctor said he had taken a gamble by going down the media route on top of being a doctor, but that it was far more lucrative than his medical career would be alone.
