Viewers were once again treated to another new hosting duo as they tuned into the first This Morning of the week. The ITV daytime show was back in its usual 10am timeslot on Monday (August 15) with Rochelle Humes and Andi Peters at the helm.
Rochelle, 33, has been a familiar face on the show for years and has so far this summer presented alongside Vernon Kay and Craig Doyle. But it's not her first time fronting the popular programme with Andi. She teamed up with the Good Morning Britain and Lorraine star back in September.
And now they're back together again as the changed summer line-up continues in the absence of the show's main hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby who will be back early in September.

Opening the show, Andi blurted out: "New energy," as the titles finished and the new hosting pair could be seen in the ITV studio. "She just said the word 'new energy,'" Andi added as Rochelle laughed and said 'Good Morning' before explaining what had happened.
"I went very LA then didn't I?" she added before Andi commented: "Yeah... we almost had a huddle between everyone in here," as they tried to rile up the crew with a few 'whoops'. I said: "'New week, new energy," Rochelle said as Andi clapped and cheered.
"We'll calm down now... Hello and welcome to your Mondays this morning," Rochelle added before asking: "Was that too much for a Monday?" To which Andi replied: "I've got no energy left. I've only had one flat white!"
Turning to his co-host, Andi said it was "lovely" to see Rochelle again before asking her about her weekend which ended up in them discussing the boiling hot temperatures that have been felt across much of the country in the last week.
They then moved on to speak to Josie Gibson who was once again out on another challenge as the show celebrates 'National Rollercoaster Day' all week. They joined the presenter and former Big Brother winner in Staffordshire where she was at Drayton Manor.
But some This Morning viewers weren't overly impressed by the start of the show. @PrincessJodiexx tweeted: "Am I watching #ThisMorning or #TheBigBreakfast I'm gonna start a petition to stop TV presenters from screaming on Saturday & Monday mornings. #headache @ITV @Channel4."
@Crazier complained: "#ThisMorning I’ve already heard enough inane giggling to last me all day." @stockportvoter shared: "WTF! Too much energy #ThisMorning." @TheRealDeclanK1 fumed: "How childish has #ThisMorning become."
Others, however, were loving Andi's addition to the programme. @Siobhanmc08 said: "Love love love Andi Peters presenting! Very impressed and a welcome addition. Hope he is a permanent addition #ThisMorning." @GeorgeSesay tweeted: "Very jealous of @RochelleHumes sitting next to @andipeters presenting on the This morning sofa. To be fair jealous of Andi next to Rochelle as well #Goals #LoveToSeeIt #thismorning."
