Craig Doyle was met plenty of sympathy from This Morning viewers when he returned to the show on Monday, to host live from Bath, right after colleague Gok Wan was sent to the much sunnier climes of Mauritius just a few days earlier.
Craig has been a massive hit with viewers of the ITV daytime show, after he came as guest host, to front This Morning alongside Alison Hammond last year. Within minutes of him being on screen, fans were describing him as 'a breath of fresh air,' as they praised his partnership with Alison and promptly declared he should be on screen more often.
Since his debut as a main This Morning presenter, Craig has been back on the show, taking the reins alongside Alison again, as well as hosting with Rochelle Humes and Josie Gibson, with the ex Holiday presenter's double act with Josie being hailed by some viewers as 'the future of the show.'

Fans of Craig were delighted to see him on screen once more on Monday, although his appearances were rather fleeting, as he joined hots Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby live from Bath to reveal details of a new competition.
Given that Gok did exactly the same job, but from Mauritius last week, viewers were rightly aggrieved on Craig's behalf over the 'unfair' treatment, with one taking to Twitter to post: "Can I just say @thismorning poor old Craig Doyle. Last week for the competition auntie @therealgokwan was baking in the Indian Ocean, this week the poor Irishman is frozen daft in bath!!! Who got the s**t end of that stick?"
A second reacted: "As lovely as Bath is I bet Craig Doyle is fuming Gok Wan went to Mauritius," while others, also sympathizing with him, demanded he be taken off competitions and e made a main presenter. Referring to a certain colleague of Craig's, one fan commented: "Craig Doyle is a dream and needs to replace Smugfield," with another writing: "I love Craig Doyle!!!!!"
