Holly Willoughby returns to This Morning after her summer break as viewers call on ITV to make Alison Hammond the full-time presenter
Holly Willoughby returned to her role as queen of ITV on the This Morning sofa on Monday after her eight-week summer break to co-present alongside Alison Hammond.
However, many viewers at home were dissatisfied with her comeback and expressed their preference for other presenters such as Rochelle Humes and Josie Gibson, with some even saying that Alison should present on her own.
One called her departure from the show ‘refreshing’, while others said it had given ITV bosses the perfect chance for a ‘fresh start’.
One fan tweeted: “I really liked how Andy and Rochelle presented #ThisMorning I really brought a new, fun feel to the show and I loved that they got the crew involved. Too bad I didn’t see them on my TV this morning.’
Another asked, “Why can’t Josie and Craig present full-time?” while a third demanded, “Turn Rochelle back on.”

A fourth made his feelings clear, as they wrote: “#this morning hoped this day wouldn’t come. Don’t believe they missed the opportunity for a fresh start.’
A fifth repeated, “Is any TV show more hated than this?” Summer is so refreshing without holly.’
While a sixth said ‘Make Alison Hammond host and start Holly Willoughby’.
And a seventh sounded, ‘Is Holly announcing she’s leaving??? No?? Oh that’s a pity.’
But others came to Holly’s defense and praised her return, with one person writing: “I love these 2!!! Can finally enjoy this #this morning again. Jealous trolls just stop.”
And another agreed, tweeting: “Welcome back @hollywills #this morning’.
