This Morning's Josie Gibson breaks news of another presenter change on ITV show

Josie Gibson made a divisive announcement at the end of Friday's This Morning when she broke news of yet another hosting shake-up on the show.

After she presented the show last week alongside Craig Doyle, Josie appeared alongside Vernon Kay as the ITV programme aired its final episode of the week. Vernon had been sharing a screen with Rochelle Hume s but, after being on This Morning from Monday to Thursday, Rochelle confirmed she wouldn't be appearing on Friday.

After a packed few hours, the closing moments of the show saw Josie and Vernon take part in a cooking demonstration, before they signed off to go into the end credits. But before the credits could roll, Josie announced another change in presenting personnel, as she and Craig will take the reins again from Monday.

This Morning bosses have tried a few different host combinations as Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby take an extended leave of absence for summer.

Revealing all, former Big Brother winner Josie said: "On Monday's show I swap my Bolton boy Vernon for some Irish charm as Craig Doyle re-joins me in the studio," before she and Vernon teased some of the highlights for the week ahead.

It didn't take long for This Morning viewers to have their say on the news on Twitter. One posted: "Josie is the best female presenter on this show and I like Vernon but Craig Doyle is no 1 male presenter," while another, in agreement, tweeted: "prefer Josie and Craig I like Vernon but he gets a bit irritating talking about the past sometimes and he is a bit childish."

Offering a different take, a Vernon fan reacted: "unpopular opinion but i cannot get on board with Craig, just not a fan.....the perfect combo for me is Josie and Vernon," while others said a combination of any of those three should be given the Friday slot full time.
