How did viewers react This Morning on ITV?

We last saw Josie guest-host alongside with Phillip last month.

However, there was a mixed reaction from viewers about the new stand-ins.

One was excited about Josie and said: “#ThisMorning Yeah it’s Vernon and Josie next week!!”

However, when it came to Vernon and Rochelle, it wasn’t quite as positive.

One wrote: “Why do they keep trying to make Rochelle presenting happen? #ThisMorning.”

Another added: “So it’s Rochell & Vernon next week. I don’t know how to feel about that [cry-laugh emoji].”

“We love you”

At the end of today’s show, Phillip then paid a touching tribute to the crew and viewers.

“We just wanted to say a big thank you to the wonderful This Morning team.

“They’ve been here through the good times, the challenging times and everything in between. We literally couldn’t do it without them.”

Holly then told viewers that they loved them, and clinked flutes of champagne with her presenting partner as the credits rolled.
