ITV This Morning viewers defend pregnant Mollie King as she replaces Josie Gibson

This Morning viewers were left surprised when they tuned into the latest edition of the show to find Josie Gibson had been replaced. Craig Doyle, who has been hosting the ITV daytime show this week alongside the Big Brother winner, had a new co-host in the shape of Mollie King.

It had already been announced by ITV that the former Saturdays singer and BBC Radio 1 host would be stepping into the main presenting slot alongside Craig at some point during the summer. However, it appears fans weren't expecting Josie's run to be cut short on Thursday (July 28).

Opening the show, Mollie, 35, and Craig, 51, welcomed viewers before Craig turned to chat to his new co-host. "Look who's joining me today," he said. "It's Mollie! How's it going," Craig asked to which she replied: "I'm so excited, thanks for having me on with you."
