Andi Peters hosts This Morning with Josie Gibson as 'best double act' identified by viewers

This Morning viewers claim to have identified the show's 'best double act' after Andi Peters became the latest guest host for the festive season.

It's now been a few weeks since viewers of the ITV daytime show last saw regular hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby in action on screen, after they signed off on a Christmas break earlier this month. Since then, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary have had a week at the helm of This Morning and from Monday-Thursday this week, former Big Brother winner Josie Gibson has been on hosting duties, alongside Craig Doyle.

Josie had some bad news for This Morning fans at the very start of Thursday's episode, when she revealed that it was Craig's final day alongside her, with him jetting home to Ireland for Christmas, right after credits rolled. His absence meant there was a vacant seat next to Josie that needed filled and it was filled by none other than CBBC legend Andi.

After shooting to fame in the broom cupboard with Ed the Duck in the early 90s, Andi has been on TV in more recent years as a guest star on the likes of Good Morning Britain and Saturday Night Takeaway and, earlier this year got a chance to step up as main This Morning host alongside Rochelle Humes.

He was back in the studio to join on Friday, with the pair discussing The Traitors final and being joined by guests included Alison Hammond and Ronan Keating. And it didn't take long for viewers at home to deliver their verdict on the newly formed partnership. One tweeted: "Josie seems so much more relaxed now she’s hosting with Andi! Bloody love her."

Echoing the exact same sentiments, another posted: "Josie already looks so much more comfortable with Andi compared to how she was with Craig," with another commenting: "All about Jandi- Josie & Andi (combined with the lovely Gyles) are making me giggle this morning! Well done This Morning."
