This Morning viewers say it is a "dream team" as Holly Willoughby announced her new co-host. Holly confirmed Dermot O'Leary would be in the studio hosting with her on Monday June 12, Birmingham Live reports.
Holly took to Instagram to announce The X Factor legend Dermot, who hosted Soccer Aid on Sunday night, would be filling the gap left by Phillip Schofield in the wake of his scandal. Dermot typically hosts the show on Friday mornings, from 10am til midday, with Alison Hammond.
Holly wrote: " Morning Monday… see you at 10am on@thismorningwith the lovely@dermotolearyAlso so happy to welcome back@jamesmartinchefto the kitchen today…#hwstyledress by@newlook." In reply, Kelly said: "You look lovely holly."

"Dream team… @hollywilloughby @dermotoleary and @jamesmartinchef cannot wait to watch you guys today x," said Sonya. Spencer typed: "Gorgeous holly." Expert said: "This lady does not let anything get to her, she is positive, beautiful and honestly a wonderful person. Remember, positive mental attitude even at times of darkness...."
"She's perfect," Aiden agreed. During interviews last week, Schofield told the Sun and the BBC that Willoughby did not know about the "unwise, but not illegal" relationship, and has apologised for lying to her.
Holly returned to the show on Monday June 5 with a pre-prepared speech about Schofe. "I hope that, as we start this new chapter and get back to a place of warmth and magic that this show holds for all of us, we can find strength in each other," she said. "And, from my heart, can I just say thank you for all of your kind messages and thank you for being here this morning.
"Myself, Josie, Dermot (O'Leary), Alison (Hammond), Craig (Doyle), and every single person that works on this show will continue to work hard every single day to bring you that, this show that we love."
