This Morning underwent another presenter shake-up on Friday morning after Craig Doyle took the reins alongside Alison Hammond and fans couldn’t get enough.
The star who is known to present the competitions on the ITV show, stepped in to replace Dermot O’Leary in the latest episode.
But many viewers were impressed with Craig’s hosting ability and begged ITV to make him a permanent member of the show.
Taking to Twitter, This Morning spectators shared their thoughts.
One person wrote: “Craig needs to be permanent on this morning.”
Another penned: “Absolutely love Craig on #thismorning please make him a Friday regular.”

A third said: “Need to keep Craig on here natural banter with him.”
While a fourth added: “Loving Alison and Craig on@thismorning, they mesh so well together.”
Despite the praise, some This Morning regulars were confused to see Dermot missing from the show.
Jumping on Twitter again, fans commented on this too, with one person writing: “Why isn’t Dermot on today not that I’m complaining lol.”
Meanwhile another joked: “Look its Dermot, he has grown a beard and embraced his Irish roots.”
Although some were confused, this wasn’t the first time Craig stepped in to replace Dermot on the show as he previously took the position on in early May during the Bank Holiday period.
And fans were very happy to see the Irish host on their screens then too.
Taking to Twitter at the time, one person penned: “Loved Craig ! You are a natural. And you are so funny with lots of energy . Please can you be on again.”

Earlier this week, Craig, 51, informed fans on Instagram that he would be back on ITV to present right beside Alison.
Jumping on his Instagram story he said: “Hey, so just popped down to Brighton. Thought I would pop into my cousin to say hi. And look who he has in the window to greet me.”
Pointing to a cut-out image of Alison standing in the window, he continued: “Hammond! I’m with her on Friday. See you then.”
Craig is TV regular and has worked for the likes of the BBC, ITV and more recently BT Sport.
He is also a familiar face to Irish viewers as the host of RTE One chat show Tonight with Craig Doyle and RTE Two’s Craig Doyle Live.
