Many of them loved it and took to Twitter to say they thought the “chemistry was brilliant” between the pair and they thought they were “hilarious”.

“Beautiful, down-to-earth, humble men. Absolute pleasure to watch Rylan and Gok  #ThisMorning,” wrote one.

“Rylan and Gok…. Best pairing so far!” declared another.

“Gok and Rylan need to present #ThisMorning more often they are brilliant,” said a third.

A fourth agreed, saying they would love to see them more than Holly and Phil’s usual replacements – Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.

“Rylan & Gok presenting together is an absolute riot – move over, Eamonn & Ruth!” said one.

“Can Gok and Rylan present all the time?” asked another.

But not everyone was impressed and a few Twitter users said they weren’t keen on the new presenting duo.

“And this is when inexperienced presenters make me cringe gok getting heated rylan looking uncomfortable #ThisMorning,” wrote one.

“Gok and Rylan?! Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. I’m out. Try again tomorrow. Ta-ra,” said another.

However, the majority of tweets were overwhelming positive about the pair, who discussed everything from Botox to whether gingerbread biscuits should be gender neutral on Wednesday’s show.

Rylan and Gok are the latest double act to cover for Holly and Phil while they soak up the sun in Portugal.

Despite working together, the pair are also happy to spend their time-off in one another’s company and take both their families out to the same resort each year.

Phil recently shared a snap on Instagram of them enjoying a swim.
