Another wrote: “Please go back, really miss you at Sky News.”
A third pleaded: “YES please go back on morning TV… no-one worth watching anymore!”
Finally, another said: “I would love to see you back on breakfast tv. I’m not enjoying any of the shows right now.”
What else do fans want Eamonn back on?

The married couple were ditched in favour of Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond earlier this year.
After last Friday’s show (October 8) viewers pleaded with ITV to reinstate them.
“Bring back Eamonn and Ruth!” one wrote.
“I thought I’d give This Morning another go after the brilliant summer but it’s just as bad if not worse!”
