ITV This Morning viewers demand Josie Gibson swaps places with Rochelle Humes

ITV This Morning viewers have called for Rochelle Humes to be replaced by Josie Gibson.

The former The Saturdays' star is currently stepping in for Holly Willoughby whilst she is off filming for a new BBC show.

Rochelle is set to present the ITV daytime show alongside Phillip Schofield for the 'next few weeks' during Holly's absence.

But viewers aren't impressed with Holly's stand-in, with many calling for Big Brother winner Josie Gibson to take Rochelle's place.

Josie Gibson became a firm favourite when she presented the show alongside Phillip Schofield in November last year.

After Holly fell ill, Josie was called in to replace her last minute - and she managed to impress This Morning fans with her natural presenting flair.

During her three-day stint on the show, viewers pleaded for show bosses to make Josie a more permanent presenter.

And now, viewers are once again demanding for her to return to the sofa - this time to replace Rochelle Humes.

Taking to Twitter, fans of the show say they aren't too keen on Rochelle and would much prefer Josie to stand in for Holly.

"Don’t they read the tweets on here? Why do they keep bringing Rochelle back. Where’s Josie? #ThisMorning," one viewer asked.

"I would prefer to see Josie in the studio #thismorning," Alice said after Josie appeared for a small segment of the show.

"Why couldn’t they have Josie in the studio and Rochelle up the mountain… #thismorning," another suggested.

"How did Rochelle get this gig ahead of Josie? #ThisMorning," @ScheissShowUK asked.

This Morning's permanent presenter Holly Willoughby is currently hosting Dancing On Ice alongside Phillip Schofield.

She is also filming for new entertainment reality show, Wim Hof’s Superstar Survival, a BBC One show inspired by the teachings of Dutch extreme athlete Wim Hof.

It will see a group of celebrities embark on an "epic adventure of self-improvement, and face a unique test of mental strength like no other".
