This Morning viewers issue 'stop' plea after Holly Willoughby and Dermot O'Leary appearance as summer hosts teased

This Morning viewers appeared to be divided as Holly Willoughby's latest co-host was revealed. While usually seen on the show on Friday, Dermot O'Leary made an early return to screens as he appeared in the ITV studio for the programme on Monday (June 12).

The TV and radio presenter was drafted in to cover for Holly alongside Alison Hammond last month after it was revealed that Phillip Schofield had quit the popular daytime show after more than 20 years amid rumours of a 'feud' with his former co-host. However, he later stepped back from ITV altogether after admitting to lying to Holly and his employers about a relationship with a much younger ITV colleague.

Following her two-week break amid the fallout from Phillip's admission, Holly, 42, addressed the scandal head on in a statement read out live on air as she was supported by fellow This Morning star Josie Gibson.
