Meanwhile, viewers delivered their verdict on Alison and Dermot taking over from Ruth and Eamonn.
At the start of the show, Alison told viewers: “Hello and welcome to your Friday This Morning!”
Some fans begged ITV to bring back Eamonn and Ruth on Twitter.
One person said on Twitter: “Bring back Eamonn and Ruth.”
Another added: “Guess who’s not watching #ThisMorning today! Me! Just isn’t the same without Eamonn and Ruth!”

However, many viewers loved having Alison and Dermot on their screens.
One tweeted: “Alison and Dermot… YAY. If only Phil and Holly could leave for good!”
In addition, another gushed: “Loving Alison and Dermot on #thismorning already, so refreshing.”
Last year, ITV announced the pair would be replacing the husband and wife duo after 15 years.
At the time, Alison said in a statement: “I never dreamt that when I first joined This Morning – initially for a few months – that I would still be there 19 years later.
