This Morning viewers demand 'dream team' presenters stay as they bid farewell

Presenters Sian Welby and Craig Doyle bid a heartfelt goodbye to This Morning viewers, rounding off their summer stint on the popular ITV programme.

Over the summer months, a roster of stars took over presenting duties while familiar faces such as Cat Deeley, Ben Shephard, Dermot O'Leary, and Alison Hammond were away on holiday. Fans have been treated to a variety of guest hosts including the likes of Rylan Clark and Josie Gibson stepping in.

However, with the original presenters gearing up for a comeback next week, it's back to business as usual. Craig expressed his sentiment towards the end of Friday's show saying: "What a summer, Sian it's been such a hoot hasn't it?" He then said: "Ben and Cat are back on Monday, Alison and Derm will be back on Fridays, take care of yourselves."

Viewers were quick to share their opinions on the hosting duo's performance, with many applauding their dynamic. A supportive fan commented: "I think Sian and Craig should be permanent. They work together so well. @thismorning make them permanent Monday - Thursday."

Echoing the positive feedback, another fan said: "Love Craig and Sian," accompanied by a series of heartwarming emojis, reports the Mirror.

And another viewer lauded them, writing: "#ThisMorning you have had the dream team this week. Craig Doyle and Sian Welby are just great together. Craig is so experienced and worldly and amusing and Sian is bright and cute and she is a breath of fresh air."

This Morning is set to welcome back its beloved hosts with a bang, as ITV producers unveiled an exhilarating new promotional video featuring Cat, Ben, Alison, and Dermot. The vibrant clip, which will serve as the show's fresh introduction, captures the presenters enjoying themselves atop Studio TC3 at London's Television Centre.

Martin Frizell, This Morning's editor, was full of praise for the revamped intro and the return of the presenting team. He commented: "Full credit to our promo team for this idea and execution. I know that it was no mean feat getting a rather large sofa and four hosts up on the roof during one of the hottest days this summer!

"We all couldn't be more excited to welcome back Ben, Cat, Alison and Dermot post their summer break, and I know all had great fun filming this promo. Their energy certainly matches the fresh and bold content the show has coming up."

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1
