‘I imagine she will let nothing get her down, tis always a joy to have both of them presenting the show and I feel I speak for a lot of people who would agree with me, long may they continue to cheer us up and lift our spirits in this dreary world’.

And it isn’t the first time fans have shared the sentiment, with other viewers also arguing the same earlier this week.

‘No thanks! never again as long as Cat Deeley is on sorry but she just isn’t right for the show, I will only watch now when Alison & Dermot are on I have watched This Morning since 1997 when my son was born but it just isn’t the same anymore.’

‘I just watch the item on make-up bags. Cat non-stop bantering and repeating what Pauline is explaining so flipping annoying. #switch-off time. Why did #ITV change it? Bring back Alison, Dermot & Josie PLEASE’; ‘Bring back Alison and Dermot Fast’.

Fans were also left in awe after Alison wowed viewers with her secret piano talent when she opened the ITV programme with a song.

Perched at a grand piano, Alison played a beautiful tune while Dermot, chimed: ‘Welcome to the show today!’

Joking that Alison’s song was called ‘Le ode de Birmingham,’ Dermot temporarily broke her concentration as she burst out laughing.

Cat and Ben have been settling into the role well since their debut in March

ITV bosses are celebrating after Cat and Ben beat last year’s viewing figures by 5 per cent. They attracted 4.5 million viewers in just a week

Meanwhile ITV bosses are celebrating after Cat and Ben beat last year’s viewing figures by 5 per cent.

During their three weeks on-air on the daytime show, viewing has been up compared to the average in the year to date and, during this time, has achieved its highest three performances of the year so far.

They attracted 4.5 million viewers in just a week and have also proven popular on digital platforms, with 27.7 million video views of the show on social media.

One ITV insider told the Mail: ‘The truth is that Ben and Cat have made a strong start in just three weeks on-air and everyone is delighted.

‘They’ve already had the top three performances of the year so far during the three weeks, and viewing has been up across those three weeks compared to the year to date average.

‘The bosses are thrilled, it has been a very long year for them… so to see figures that prove things are going so well is a huge boost for everyone involved. They are clearly very popular with the viewers.

‘Holly and Phil were on together for 14 years so it has been a long time since there has been a fresh relaunch – The overall view is that this has been a massive success, it’s great news.’

Cat and Ben pulled in 1.02 million viewers for their first show and have kept their audience steady since.
