This Morning fans were delighted as a brand new face joined Josie Gibson co-hosting on Wednesday. ITV viewers went wild for "hunky" presenter Steve Jones as the former T4 host joined Josie on the flagship morning show.
There has been a presenter shake-up at This Morning as Holly Willoughby is still on an extended hiatus for summer and Alison Hammond and Craig Doyle are taking a break from the show. Josie was joined by Rochelle Humes earlier this week, with Steve making his debut just days later.
Taking to Instagram after the show aired, Josie matched viewers' delight with Steve. The Big Brother winner heaped praise on Steve as she described him as a "total joy", adding: "I've had an absolute blast!!!"
Fans immediately took to social media to share their thoughts on the Welsh presenter. One fan wrote: "Steve Jones is doing a great job so far, and he should be the perfect fit: natural, authoritative, warm, funny, good-looking.
"I just feel that the show desperately needs to grow a new identity and needs somebody a little more left field. New feel, new set, new start."
"No one is listening to this boring inflation segment - too happy that Steve Jones is brightening our morning #thismorning," said another happy viewer. Someone else noted: "Great to see Steve Jones back on mainstream television."
Another viewer wrote: "Rarely most people are in agreement on here, Steve for the win, definitely. Rate him above Craig, and that's my final say on the matter."
