Viewers have officially weighed-in after Cat Deeley made her debut on This Morning after replacing former host Holly Willoughby.
The ITV flagship show has featured a carousel of rotating presenters since Willoughby stepped down after 14 years in October, stating she was doing it "for me and my family".
The broadcaster confirmed Deeley's appointment over the weekend on social media and the one-time SMTV star, 47, looked extremely comfortable as she took her place alongside co-host Rylan Clark on Monday's episode for the first of a three-day stint.
After introducing what was to come on the show, Deeley turned to Clark and joked: "Can you believe they've let two of the naughtiest people in television live on ITV?"
To which the former X Factor finalist then quipped: "This is officially the end".

Deeley then revealed that it wasn't her first time hosting the programme as she previously joined Paul O'Grady to celebrate Cilla Black's 60th birthday back in 2003.
Deeley and Clark proved a winning combination for viewers, who flooded X, formerly known as Twitter, with their thoughts.
"Ah it's lovely to see Cat Deeley presenting with Rylan. Dream Team," wrote one person, with another agreeing: "Give Cat the job permanently."
"@Rylan great team with Cat today on This Morning," praised a third.
While a fourth added: "I already feel in safe hands with Cat Deeley. And of course, Rylan is always a joy."
Deeley will be back with Clark on Tuesday before being joined by Craig Doyle on her last day.
Alison Hammond will then take over on Thursday alongside Doyle, before Dermot O'Leary joins the Brummie personality for their usual Friday show.
