ITV This Morning fans issued demand after 'one week' news

Many This Morning fans are making the same demand after it emerged Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle will be filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield this week.

As Monday's instalment of the popular daytime programme got underway, Craig said to Josie: "All the grownups have gone away, they're on the Christmas holidays, we can do what we want. We're here all week, we can destroy the place, it's fine".

The new partnership comes after Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond, who usually front the show on Fridays, were at the helm of This Morning for the duration of last week.

Regular hosts Holly and Phil are currently taking a break for the Christmas holidays.

As the ITV morning show progressed, many viewers were loving Craig and Josie's chemistry, with some even calling for them to become permanent hosts. Taking to Twitter, Mrs T Henry said: "Yay! Josie and Craig. Santa does exist after all".

Michael said: "Josie and Craig, the best presenting partnership we could have on here" and Janette said: "Josie and Craig, my favourites". Sam said: "Hot take: Josie and Craig should present full time", and David said: "Gutted it's only one week".
