ITV This Morning fans issue demand as Holly and Phil's boss appears

ITV This Morning viewers were given a rare insight into how the programme operates behind the scenes as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's boss appeared on screen.

The co-presenters interviewed comedian Milo McCabe, better known by his stage name - Troy Hawke. The comic has gone viral for his "shop greeting" videos which see him stand outside storefronts up and down the country, "welcoming" customers and wishing them well for the day ahead.

Troy was interviewed via video link from the entrance to ITV's television centre where he, unsurprisingly, stood and greeted people coming in and out of the building.

Thanking two men for coming he added: "Have the best day imaginable". He then told a woman to change her body language, adding: "Shoulders back, now go and conquer the day".

Holly and Phil were in stitches, but were suddenly taken aback when a blonde woman walked through the doors. As Troy said: "Welcome to the television centre, madam", Holly and Phil shouted: "That's our boss, she's our big boss!"

Fans watching at home were loving the interaction, with many taking to Twitter to make the same demand. A Holly Willoughby fan account said: "I hope Troy is sticking around all morning. Loved that!", while Mike said: "I'd rather watch Troy welcome people into the television centre for the whole of this show".

Michelle Upton said: "More Troy!", while Brian Polina said: "How funny was that greeter guy? I loved that". Jessica said: "Can we have him on every day please?"
