Alison Hammond inadvertently sparked a call to action from This Morning viewers after thanking stand-in host Craig Doyle via a post on Instagram.
There was an unexpected hosting shake-up on the I TV daytime show on Bank Holiday Monday when former Disney Club, Tomorrow's World and Holiday host Craig appeared on screen alongside ex Big Brother star Alison, with fans fully expecting to see Alison in action with her usual co-host Dermot O'Leary. But, while blindsided by him being a This Morning presenter, it didn't take long for viewers to be won over by Irish star Craig and, after they flooded social media with praise for him, Alison further fuelled the positive reaction to Craig by sharing a photo of them together on Instagram.
Next to the picture of them smiling, Alison wrote: "Well that was fun @craigadoyle Thanks for stepping in babs , loved it , your a natural." But, while she was simply thanking Craig, plenty of her followers used her statement as an opportunity to demand that Craig is on This Morning more often. One replied: "Loved Craig ! You are a natural. And you are so funny with lots of energy . Please can you be on again."
