ITV This Morning viewers call for presenter shake up as Phillip and Holly return

This Morning viewers have called for temporary presenters to return to the ITV show, as Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby hosted the show on Thursday morning.

The long-standing presenters have returned to This Morning after a lengthy Easter break.

The dynamic pair welcomed viewers to the ITV daytime show on Tuesday but fans didn't seem too happy to see them.

Josie Gibson, Alison Hammond, Dermot O'Leary and Vernon Kay have all stepped in to replace Phillip and Holly over half term.

And this group has developed its own little fanbase, as viewers took to social media to call for the stand-in hosts return.

One Twitter user said: "I haven't missed them."

Another wrote: "Wish it was Vernon and Josie today."

A third person posted: "Let’s just say it… We want Josie back!"

And another added: "Have to agree with so many that both Phil and Holly are 'tired' and the show needs fresh energy. It’s been great fun with the fill-ins."

Not everyone agreed, however, as one Twitter user said: "Yay, Holly and Phil are back! #ThisMorning"

Another agreed, stating: "Glad to see you two back! #ThisMorning"

Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary confirmed last week that the normal hosts would be returning during their stint on the show on Monday, April 18.

Alison said: "Holly and Phil are back tomorrow. Donal [Skehan] joins us in the kitchen with his garlic and rosemary chicken."

This Morning resumes weekdays on ITV at 10am.
