 This Morning has seen several new presenters brought on board in recent months, but fans of the series have now thrown their support behind one in particular. Since the exit of long-term co-host Phillip Schofield back in May, Holly Willoughby, 42, has been presenting alongside different co-hosts, including Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle and Dermot O'Leary. Bosses have reportedly decided against a permanent replacement for Schofield and instead, Holly will remain the only permanent fixture, with her co-stars rotating. But with Holly on leave at the moment, Josie has been joined by Steve Jones on Wednesday's episode of ITV's breakfast programme, and audiences can't get enough. While the show hasn't even ended yet, fans have made their opinions on the addition of Steve to the line-up known. 'I'd forgotten what a great TV presenter Steve Jones is. Actually – I'm not sure I ever realised! Great addition to This Morning and his Josie partnership already feels natural,' one person posted on Twitter. The presenter made his debut on the breakfast programme this week (Picture: Ken McKay/ ITV/ REX/ Shutterstock) '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.' Many others also had the same idea when it came to trying to get him as part of the regular presenting line-up, with one suggesting he could even host with Craig Doyle. 'Right then. Let's have Craig Doyle and Steve Jones on together at some point. Reckon that's a winning combo right there!' someone suggested. However, another said Steve might actually be giving the other regular presenters a run for their money. 'The Steve Jones and Josie Gibson combo looks natural to me. Chemistry happening methinks.
