This Morning viewers were disappointed to see Holly Willoughby holding down the fort with Dermot O’Leary as viewers demand the hunk to take over the ITV show for good.
On Monday (June 19), fans threatened to “switch off” after the mum-of-three kicked off the week’s programme with the former X Factor host.
The presenting duo welcomed hosts Gyles Brandreth and Matthew Wright onto the show as they group discussed the latest headlines in the news.

“Did you have a lovely Father’s Day yesterday, by the way?” she asked as the TV presenter gushed over his family-filled day.
He said: “Aww man, it was the best. My son is just obsessed with trains so I spent most of my weekend on tubes.”
But just minutes into the show, viewers flooded to Twitter to share their frustrations at the TV presenter hosting the show.

Another agreed: “Just turned #ThisMorning on – pleased to see Dermot on, but Holly? Nah …” as a third echoed: “I think it’s time for Holly to go #ThisMorning.”

One user gushed: “Can I just say, love Dermot on This Morning” as another agreed: “#thismorning need to make @radioleary a permanent host, his conversation with Giles & Matthew was brilliant. Holly was silenced which is always a good thing.”

A spokesperson for ITV said it would make further announcements on future presenters of the show “in due course.”
“In the meantime, we will draw on the This Morning family for presenters to co-present with Holly.” they added in a statement to The Journal.
