This Morning viewers have been flooding the show with praise as they made a fresh observation about Holly Willoughby. The presenter was left flying solo by her usual co-host on the ITV daytime show Phillip Schofield before she was kept company by Alison Hammond.
The latest week's worth of shows was kicked off with the female duo before a new yet familiar face stepped in. Joel Dommett was welcomed to the programme on Wednesday and Thursday as he made his This Morning presenting debut after being a guest on the famous sofa on multiple occasions.
Making his first appearance on the mid-week episode, Joel confessed to his new co-star: "I wasn't nervous until I heard the theme tune!" Holly replied: "It's that iconic sound. It's like, 'It's happening!'" before The Masked Singer host then added: "I didn't sleep a wink," joking to Holly: "Will you hold my hand under the table?"

But Joel quickly found his groove and there were no signs of nerves as he returned to the studio on Thursday to chat to guests ranging from the Duchess of York to a singing estate agent who has found a unique way of trying to sell properties - and has gone viral for doing so.
And with Joel on the show, This Morning viewers were quick to take to social media as they spotted a change in Holly. @daviesfamile tweeted: "#thismorning Holly blossoms without [Phillip]," to which @Maria30457324 replied: "Agree." @BarbaraToner6 posted: "#ThisMorning anyone else thinks Holly is so much more relaxed with the different co presenters this week without Philip??"
They were also making demands to show bosses about Joel's appearance on the show. @t_catttt tweeted: "#ThisMorning Joel and Holly duo is a the next thing!" @ck2618036556 requested: "Keep Joel and Holly #ThisMorning." @Alexfern03 posted: "Campaign to get Joel Dommett on @thismorning everyday!" @Eleanor30913482 added: "Joel needs to stay @thismorning."
The compliments also came flooding in when Joel and Holly posted identical photos from the This Morning sofa. While Joel captioned his: "Day TWO! @thismorning @hollywilloughby," Holly echoed: "Day 2 @joeldommett … see you on @thismorning at 10am!"
Jamie Redknapp was among those responding to Joel's post as he said: "Smashing it mate. You guys are great together." @carlthompson echoed: "You were brilliant. Absolutely smashed it." @hayeschristoff replied: "You are doing an awesome job @joeldommett. You and Holly are great together."
@helen_milner_5 shared: "Loved watching u Joel - great presenting and so funny." @ammg1973 commented: "Great pairing! Joel you’re a pleasure to watch, more please! x." @clare.holt.77 added: "I’ve never seen holly so relaxed and laughing her head off great pairing with Joel."
Following his last stint on the show - for now - Joel reposted the selfie to his Instagram Story and said: "So much fun! A huge thanks to @hollywilloughby for taking me through everything. An absolute delight of a human." Holly was then quick to respond to the nice message as typing alongside the post on her own Stories: "Awww... thank YOU! X."
