Fans of This Morning are calling for a permanent change of presenters. They believe Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle have the best chemistry of any star and should co-host the show permanently.
The enthusiastic reactions from fans came after a hilarious segment during Friday’s show, in which the duo kicked off the program in a different way than usual.
When viewers tuned into the ITV morning show today, they saw Josie, 39, and Craig, 53, dressed in 80s-themed outfits, dancing chaotically to music from the decade.
The atmosphere in the studio was great and the duo couldn’t contain their laughter as they burst out laughing during the fun part.
Josie wore a retro leather jacket complete with a black headpiece, while Craig looked the part in a gold and black patterned jacket and aviator sunglasses.

As they excitedly announced the show and showed off some moves, Josie joked, “Hello, what a mover. Oh, there she goes, Beyoncé. Hello and a big welcome to your Friday’s This Morning.”
Craig chimed in with, “There’s a reason for that. We’re paying tribute to the ’80s today and we can’t get enough of it.”
The duo didn’t hold back as they burst into song, with Josie telling her co-star: “You’re giving me Freddie Mercury vibes. I love Freddie Mercury.”
