This Morning's Vernon Kay and Josie Gibson end hosting stint as viewers demand change

Viewers were left gutted as credits rolled on Thursday's This Morning when this week's hosts Josie Gibson and Vernon Kay ended their run, just as they were being talked up as 'the future of the show.'

There has been a change of personnel on the ITV daytime show of late, with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby taking their usual break over the school holidays. Prior to the usual presenting duo officially confirming their time off, speculation was already rife amongst fans of the show as to who might replace them.

Producers confirmed that Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary would be first to do the honours, with the pair fronting This Morning for the entirety of last week. Josie and Vernon have had loads of praise heaped on them from viewers this week. The former Big Brother winner and I'm A Celebrity finalist have been described as a 'breath of fresh air,' by some fans, with many of them calling on Josie and Vernon to be made full time hosts, or at least being made Phillip and Holly's permanent holiday cover from now on.
