Piers Morgan and Rylan Clark led the praise for King Charles III as he made his first speech to the nation after succeeding to the throne.
On Thursday afternoon, Charles' beloved mother Queen Elizabeth II died at her Scottish estate, Balmoral, with Buckingham Palace confirming the news shortly after.
The 96-year-old's death meant Prince Charles became the new King of the nation, with him making his first speech following the tragic news.
Piers, 57, took to social media to praise His Majesty the King in a sweet tweet.
"That was a great speech by a good man. The Queen is dead…. Long live The King!" he tweeted to his followers.
He also shared a screenshot of a teary-eyed King making his speech.
Rylan also took to his Twitter to share a wonderful photo of King Charles III.
"God Save The King," he simply posted.
Chris Ship of ITV, who had a hard time getting used to saying 'His Majesty The King' yesterday, also praised the King.
"That was a speech which matched the magnitude of the occasion," he wrote.
EastEnders actor Craig Fairbrass tweeted: "A Breathtaking, powerful moving speech from King Charles. So surreal the Queen is no longer here but the cycle of life goes on. Long live the King."
Following the death of the late Head of State, her eldest son and heir Charles is now King with Camilla as Queen Consort.
The Monarch leaves behind four children, eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Archie and Lilibet.

In his first speech, King Charles III voiced his love for his son Harry and his daughter-in-law Meghan Markle "as they continue to build their lives overseas".
Talking about his wife of 17 years, Camilla, 75, the new Head of State said: "I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much."
He went on to address how his life had now changed, saying: "It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply.
