This Morning Viewers Celebrate Return of Rylan Clark and Emma Willis
Fans of the popular ITV daytime show This Morning have shared their delight as the presenting duo of Rylan Clark and Emma Willis made a long-awaited return to the programme. Viewers took to social media to declare the pair the "best presenters" and called for them to be made full-time hosts on the show, which regularly features alternating presenters.
Social Media Buzz and Fan Reactions
For Friday's episode, which aired on February 6, Rylan Clark and Emma Willis stepped into the new studio for the first time, sparking a wave of positive reactions from viewers. One fan wrote on X: '@Rylan & @EmmaWillis on @thismorning @ITV best duo! Should be full time! Only two worth turning the tv on for!! Period!' Another simply added: 'Yes! Rylan & Emma.'
A third viewer commented: 'Rylan and Emma are the best presenters.' While a fourth chimed in: 'Rylan and Emma! Are the producers finally listening to the viewers?' A fifth remarked: 'Hurrahhh!!!!!! Rylans back #thismorning.' A sixth said: '@thismorning lovely to see @Rylan and @EmmaWillis on this morning. Also my choice for @bbcstrictly.'
Proven Chemistry and Previous Success
Rylan Clark and Emma Willis, who formerly worked together on Big Brother, have been widely praised for their on-air chemistry and dynamic presenting style. They have stepped in to host This Morning on previous occasions, with fans consistently calling for them to be made permanent members of the team.
Back in 2023, following the departures of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, viewers urged TV bosses to appoint Rylan and Emma as full-time presenters. One fan wrote on social media: 'What a fabulous week with @Rylan and @EmmaWillis. I’ve not enjoyed the programme this much for ages!!! Please keep them!!!!' Another added: '@Rylan & @EmmaWillis you should 100% be the full time presenters. You have a natural chemistry and that's what's needed rather than a forced one. @thismorning you know it makes sense and will bring you back to the top again!'
Memorable Past Appearances and Special Episodes
Last year, the pair also stepped in for usual presenters Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, hosting from outside the studio to commemorate VE Day. They chatted with veterans who witnessed the event 80 years ago, surrounded by a celebratory street party and singers. Many viewers welcomed the change in presenters and were thrilled to see Emma and Rylan on screen.
Some posted on X: 'Time for @thismorning and I’m all for it with the #VEDay celebrations happening. Lovely to have @Rylan and @EmmaWillis as the presenters too.' Another said: 'Emma looks amazing #ThisMorning.' While one surprised viewer penned: 'Rylan and Emma?! #thismorning.'
Recent Show Developments and Segment Highlights
This comes as The Traitors winner Stephen Libby made his TV presenting debut on Thursday morning, joining Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley on This Morning. The reality show star, who rose to fame on the most recent series of the hit BBC gameshow, took to the ITV breakfast programme to host the fashion segment, usually presented by Lisa Snowdon.
Stephen, who won the BBC One show and split the impressive £95,750 prize with fellow Traitor Rachel Duffy in January, looked chic in a tight-fitting outfit as he talked fans through his top tips. He was joined by a series of models who had been transformed with 1970s-inspired and real vintage clothing, posing in front of Ben and Cat.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
