Vernon Kay has taken to Instagram to thank This Morning, at the same time as viewers call on bosses to make him and Josie Gibson permanent presenters, having been left angry that they weren't main hosts for a full week.
Having first had a chance to host together at the end of last year, Josie and Vernon were installed as main presenters on the ITV show over four consecutive days this week, as Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby continued their Easter break. Their partnership gave fans plenty of hilarious moments, including Josie confessing to trying dog chocolate and Vernon likening a dress in a fashion segment to something the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood would wear.
While many viewers hoped and assumed that he and Josie would be given a full week in charge of This Morning, they ended their run as main presenters on Thursday, with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, who presented for all of last week, back to host on Good Friday. Alison and Dermot will be back on Easter Monday, with Phillip and Holly finally back on Tuesday. And as he said thank you to the crew at This Morning for the 'opportunity,' Vernon left fans saying the same thing.

A joy to be hosting with a natural host! And all the team behind the show! It’s obvious why @thismorning wins all the day time awards! Hard work pays off!! Loved the opportunity."
A follower and avid This Morning viewer was quick to respond: "I think you guys should be hosting more often. You make a great and very natural team." Echoing those sentiments, another commented: "Wish you were on it every week, much better than Alison and Dermot," with a third replying: "You and Josie need to do it all the time , both so natural."
