This Morning fans call for Phillip Schofield’s stand-in to STAY

Holly had a new TV hubby today

This Morning viewers are loving guest host Ore Oduba, who is standing in for original presenter Phillip Schofield.

It was announced that Ore would take Phil’s place on the show as the star unfortunately had to miss it due to other filming commitments.

But viewers were more than impressed with Ore with some even asking him to stay!

We’re not sure Phil would take too kindly to that.

But don’t worry Phil will be back to his presenting duties next week!

Speaking ahead of his appearance, he said: “I can’t thank This Morning enough for welcoming me back, and Phillip for letting me warm his seat again.

“I had a fantastic time with Holly and the team back in November, I can’t wait to get back in the studio.”

The sports presenter previously stood in last year to navigate the show alongside Holly and he was definitely a huge success with viewers.

He got the same warm response this time as viewers took to Twitter to shower the star with compliments.

One wrote: “ore is a beautiful, kind human being, someone get me an ore #thismorning @thismorning.”

Another said: “love ore presenting!! #thismorning.”

A third added: “I only watch @thismorning on fridays but made an exception today as Ore is guest presenter #ThisMorning.”

One said: “Ore Oduba is excellent can he stay?! #ThisMorning.”

Original host Phil previously spoke about Ore taking his spot and joked that he wanted Ore “killed”.

He told The Sun: “No, no, because they know if they’re really good they know I’ll have him killed.”

He added: “I haven’t seen it because I was working, but apparently it went really well.

“That’s what I want for the show. It’s good to know that if someone is going to stand in for you, it’s all in safe hands. I’m thrilled for him.”
