Rylan Clark ignores This Morning rumours as he sends simple message

Rylan Clark sent a simple message to fans as he ignored the This Morning rumours.

The Eurovision host has been earmarked as one of the favourites to replace Phillip Schofield as a permanent host on ITV's flagship daytime programme. The former X Factor contestant was a hit with fans when he hosted This Morning alongside Ruth Langsford last August.

Speculation has mounted over who will join Holly Willoughby as the full-time host of This Morning ever since Mr Schofield quit ITV. Rylan was immediately fancied by people to get the job as bookies BoyleSports announced yesterday he was the joint 3/1 favourite to take over.

However, the presenter paid no attention to the rumours as he enjoyed a sun soaked trip away from the UK. Rylan shared a relaxed snap holding a glass of wine as the rumours seemed to be far from him mind.

He said: "Another day." He was praised by regular This Morning commentator, Vanessa Feltz, who said: "Very handsome."

However, Rylan's chances may have taken a hit today as fellow favourite, Craig Doyle, hosted today's show. The Irish presenter fronted Wednesday's programme alongside Holly Willoughby.

The Irish presenter won acclaim from fans following the show on Twitter who said he should get the job full time.

Lydia said: "Craig is a dream, can we keep him please"

Brekkie added: "Not seen a bad word about Craig Doyle hosting #ThisMorning and seems within minutes he works well with Holly too."

Thomas posted: "Holly Wills looking a lot more relaxed now with Craig Doyle as new co-host"

Jason tweeted: "Can we have Craig Doyle permanently as Phil’s replacement? He and Holly just work so well together"

Estella commented: "Craig Doyle’s an absolute joy isn’t he? He’s very natural & clearly gets on well with Holly. Could he be the perfect replacement for you know who?

Stephanie posted: "There’s such a warmth and calmness about Craig Doyle, Holly seems more relaxed with him too. Would not complain if he were to be permanent"
