This Morning viewers issue demand as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield replaced

This Morning viewers were thrilled as Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle fronted today's show.

The broadcasters presented Monday's edition of ITV's flagship daytime programme as Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby enjoy a well deserved summer break.

The broadcasting team is a part of a line up of hosts who will take over the show while the usual presenters are absent until September 5. Friday's presenting team of Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary have presented the show over the past two weeks.

It is now Josie and Craig's time to take over the reins and they covered a whole host of topics in another jam-packed edition. Josie joked at the top of the programme : "We're normally in charge of giving the money away.

"We've been given the driver's seat. We've just got to hope that we don't crash the car."

Craig added: "It's nice to be allowed to come back into the studio. No crashing, no scraping. just clean through. Their presenting stint was a hit with fans following the show on Twitter who demanded the team front the show on a more regular basis.

Monica said: "What a great pairing, Josie and Craig on #ThisMorning. It’s really enjoyable watching presenters with real chemistry and not talking over each other. Hope we see more of these two in future!"

Jay added: "It's so lovely to see Josie blossom from a former big brother winner to a competition host on this morning. Now to a presenter. I doubt ITV bosses will be reading the twitter thread. I really think we need a lot more Josie hosting this morning, She is a natural!"

Nicola posted : "Craig and Josie are brilliant together aren’t they!"

Ash said: "I seriously think that @thismorning should give far more morning shows to the lovely Josie Gibson. She is such a natural, our Bristol girl doing the south-west proud"

Jenny tweeted: "Could watch Craig and Josie every day. So natural together. PLEASE KEEP THEM!"
