In November 2022, Craig was invited to present competitions for This Morning.

He was then asked to fill in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield during the summer holidays.

I have been around the block a few times and had times where I thought ‘Am I ever going to get back into this world again?’

Craig is currently presenting over the summer alongside the likes of Josie Gibson and Rochelle Humes.

In an interview, Craig told the Mirror: “I have been around the block a few times and had times where I thought ‘Am I ever going to get back into this world again?'”

He continued saying: “You step off the bus, it doesn’t always come around again. And when you have been in the bubble of sport, you think the ship has sailed.

“So to be asked to be part of This Morning is exciting.”

Craig – on the new series of Cooking With The Stars – also admitted that he has had multiple chances to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.

However, he declined as it “feels an uncomfortable space”.

In the interview, Craig expressed that his wife, Doon Doyle, is very happy with his gig on This Morning as the weekday presenting role. This is because it means he has the weekend off.
