This Morning Viewers Really Want Craig Doyle To Become A Permanent Co-Host

This Morning viewers have been well and truly won over by guest presenter Craig Doyle and are now calling for him to join Holly Willoughby as a permanent co-host.

The ITV daytime show has entered what Holly has described as a “new chapter” following Phillip Schofield’s sudden departure last month, which came shortly before he admitted to having an affair with a younger colleague.

Regular guest host Craig co-presented with Holly for the first time on Wednesday, before returning once again for Thursday’s episode – and fans haven’t held back their desire to see more of him in the future.

One viewer tweeted during the live show: “Craig Doyle establishing in cement his credentials to replace Phil 100%.”

Another made a public plea to producers, writing: “This Morning has got to make Craig Doyle the permanent host, he is lovely, great personality and complements Holly Willoughby on the sofa, fits in with the team like a glove.”

Craig is no stranger to This Morning, having appeared regularly on the show since November 2021, when he first started out presenting competition segments.

He then began guest presenting This Morning in May 2022, first alongside Alison Hammond, and later with Josie Gibson, Mollie King and Rochelle Humes.

The Irish TV presenter already has more than two decades’ worth of experience in the broadcasting industry under his belt.

Before his foray on This Morning, he appeared on several popular programmes in the UK, including Lorraine, as well as big shows in his native Ireland.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV1.
