ITV This Morning viewers spot Craig Doyle's habit as they tell Josie Gibson to issue instruction

This Morning viewers have been willing Josie Gibson to issue co-star Craig Doyle an instruction after spotting the same thing every day this week so far.

Josie has been back at the helm of the ITV daytime programme this week in the lead-up to Christmas alongside Craig Doyle. The pair, who have previously impressed fans with their on-screen partnership, took over the presenting duties from Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on Monday after the usual Friday duo hosted the first week of festive shows.

The change in presenting line-up comes after Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield wrapped up their year on This Morning weeks before the big day itself. However, they will be on-screen in a pre-recorded episode on December 25.

But back to Josie and Craig and the pair have been busy with a series of jam-packed shows this week with the usual food and beauty segments as well as a series of special guests who have joined them on the famous sofa.

However, fans have come to notice that Craig has a bit of a habit when alongside Josie on the show, and that's that the 52-year-old gets a bit close to his co-presenter.

@YTVChase tweeted alongside a picture of the pair on-screen: "He really couldn’t be sat nearer to his co-worker! Literally got his arm around her. #ThisMorning." @NORRIEUK99 said: "Craig sits so close they're almost Siamese twins #ThisMorning."

@Boppity_Boo34 posted: "If I was Josie I’d start charging Craig for piggy backs I couldn’t do with him so close to me like he is Josie #ThisMorning." @HannonyMoose asked: "The male presenter is sitting uncomfortably close to Josie or is it just me? #ThisMorning." @Gee_McK replied: "Yep been the same all week."

@karenlmm shared: "@thismorning Oh my god, could Craig Doyle get any closer to Josie Gibson. He does not need to be leaning on her in every shot, sitting or standing. Tell him to move over." @FionaMc7946175 wrote: "Too close for me, I'd be telling him to move over @BeddoesJill added: "Craig seems to have no concept of personal space. #thismorning."
