Andi Peters has thanked fans for their kind messages of support after taking over on Lorraine.
The 50-year-old presenter has stepped in for Lorraine Kelly while she enjoys a well-deserved summer break.
And it appears Andi has proven to be a real hit with viewers, who called for the star to get his own show entirely.
What did viewers say?
Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: “@ITV you should be looking to give the warm, funny, genuinely entertaining star that is @andipeters more air time or even better his own show. He is so endearing you just have to live him.”
Another said: “I need to start catching up on #lorraine whilst @andipeters is on, genuinely I am so so happy for him that he has the spotlight of being the main presenter.”
