ITV This Morning fans threaten to 'stop watching' minutes into show

Many This Morning viewers were making the same demand as the latest instalment of the daytime show got underway.

Monday's episode saw Holly Willoughby joined by Craig Doyle, who also helped the mum-of-three present the show last week. It comes as a number of faces from the "This Morning team" take turns to front the show, following the dramatic exit of Holly's former co-host Phillip Schofield.

While he left some weeks ago now, a permanent replacement for Mr Schofield has not yet been confirmed.

Fans of the programme are clearly keen for Craig to fill his shoes, with many taking to Twitter to urge This Morning bosses to give him the job. One even threatened to "stop watching" if it doesn't happen.

Jay said: "Craig Doyle needs to be made permanent host of this morning. He fits in so well", while Jackie said: "Craig is in one of his naughty moods. Love it. Make him permanent please".

Lynne said: "Absolutely love Craig Doyle, he's so funny and adorable and has lots of great stories, please please make him permanent" and Charlotte added: "tbh I'll probably stop watching if they lose Craig" [sic]. @Twellywatcher said: "they need to keep Craig and Holly together now. He’s perfect for this show, a great presenter from what I’ve seen".
