The news that Vernon Kay is returning to This Morning next week has sparked a debate amongst viewers online as to who the show's full time hosts should be.
The presenting line-up on the ITV daytime show has been an ever changing one over the last few months, thanks to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby taking an extended leave of absence for summer. The programme's usual presenting duo being missing in action has paved the way for a growing number of other stars to get a turn at taking charge.
The first week of Phillip and Holly's holiday was covered by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary and since then, Josie Gibson, Craig, Doyle, Rochelle Humes, Andi Peters and Vernon have all stepped into the breech. This week it's been Rylan Clark and Ruth Langsford at the helm, but, during an ad break during Thursday's This Morning, it was revealed that it will be Vernon and Rochelle who present the show, with Phillip and Holly expected to return in early September.

Upon hearing the news of Vernon's return alongside Rochelle, many This Morning viewers took to Twitter to air their opinions. Responding to a tweet from earlier this week that suggested Ruth and Rylan should be permanent presenters, one fan replied: "Sack Holly and Phil and appoint Vernon Kay."
Another Twitter user, clearly fan of Vernon, reacted: "Please bring Vernon Kay back and Josie to present why Phil and Holly are away," and, while backing the decision to bring Vernon, another disagreed with putting him with Rochelle, tweeting: "NOO WAY! #rochellehumes is back on this morning next week it’s always Rochelle we want Ruth why can’t Ruth team up with vernon I like #VernonKay but we want more Ruth it’s not fair!"
Others argued it should be Josie and Vernon back in charge, or Josie with Craig Doyle, with one posting: "I enjoyed watching Josie and Craig and when she hosted with Vernon," and another commenting: "Keep Josie on this morning and get rid of Phillip and holly have some laughs.
