ITV This Morning viewers share 'need' as they cast verdict on Joel Dommett hosting and spot Holly Willoughby's 'mood'

This Morning viewers were treated to another presenting shake-up as Holly Willoughby returned to hosting duties. Wednesday's edition of the ITV daytime show saw another big change as the presenter was joined by a brand new co-host.

Earlier in the week, it was an all-female takeover as the 42-year-old presenter was joined by Alison Hammond after she confirmed that Phillip Schofield was "taking the week off". And after two fun-filled, and often chaotic, days together, Alison has had to step back from hosting duties until Friday (March 31) and was replaced by another familiar face.

Holly was joined on Wednesday's show (March 29) by Joel Dommett. It was revealed that the comedian and presenter will be making his hosting debut on the show in a social media post on Tuesday (March 28).

After welcoming viewers to the show, Holly turned her attention to comedian and presenter Joel who was happy to admit that the nerves had kicked in as the went live to the nation. "I wasn't nervous until I heard the theme tune," The Masked Singer host admitted to which Holly replied: "It's that iconic sound. It's like, 'It's happening!'"

Joel then added: "I didn't sleep a wink," joking to Holly: "Will you hold my hand under the table?" The former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here star also revealed something his wife had said to him ahead of his new TV gig, saying: "She said I have to be careful not to do my Masked Singer voice in the morning!"

And after a jam-packed show, which featured emotional tributes to Paul O'Grady following his 'unexpected' death, aged 67, on Tuesday evening (March 28), This Morning viewers were flocking to cast their verdict on Joel stepping in for Phillip on the show.
