Rochelle Humes hosts This Morning and viewers are split

The regular stand-in host appeared alongside Ore Oduba

This Morning was hosted by Rochelle Humes and Ore Oduba again today (Friday, July 24) and her appearance left fans divided.

As This Morning continues to shake things up over the summer while the usual presenting line-up of Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are on holiday, Fridays have so far garnered a mixed reaction.

Regular Friday presenters Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have been promoted to Monday to Thursday duties.

Rochelle would be lost without autocue.

Meanwhile, Rochelle and Ore have taken the helm the past two Fridays.

Last week viewers weren’t impressed with either host, saying they had ‘zero chemistry’ and they were switching off.

Today it was seemingly Rochelle who came in for the majority of the flack as viewers accused her of talking over everybody and relying on cards and autocue to get through the segments.

Calls for Rochelle and Ore to replace Ruth and Eamonn

Some watching at home feel Rochelle is a breath of fresh air.

There were even calls for her and Ore to take on a bigger role and replace Eamonn and Ruth for the rest of the week.

However, some felt Ore was the problem.

Who will present This Morning for the rest of the summer?

Sadly for those who weren’t impressed with Rochelle today, she is back next Friday (July 31), but will be joined by Dermot O’Leary.

Will the change of co-host make a difference to viewer opinion?

Throughout August, Rochelle will host other Friday slots as will Dermot and Alison Hammond.

The exact line-up for each date is yet to be confirmed.

When do Holly and Phil return?

Holly and Phil are set to return in September, despite rumours to the contrary.

After they hosted their final show on Friday, July 10, a montage of their best bits was played alongside a tearful tribute.

Those watching at home felt it was all a bit final and questioned whether Holly and Phil were leaving for good and something else could be going on.

It comes after rumours the pair are set to be replaced after a big shake-up at ITV.

This Morning continues weekdays at 10am on ITV
