Viewers of This Morning took to social media to call for Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford to be given a regular slot again after presenting the show across the summer.
The pair had been covering for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield for seven weeks across the summer after having left their Friday slot in December.
The telly husband and wife had stepped down from presenting on Fridays in December to make way for new duo Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
Following their laughter-filled seven weeks back at the helm, viewers were devastated that the run had come to an end.
They tweeted: ‘Good Morning #ThisMorning Peeps. Happy Friday. I can’t believe it’s Eamonn and Ruth’s last summer show.’
Others added: ‘so sad it’s youre last day this summer. You have made me laugh and made me cry. THANK YOU!!’ and ‘7 weeks of pure joy. The professionalism, banter and laughs have made it the best’.

Some vowed not to watch until Eamonn and Ruth returned, adding: ‘Probably my last time watching #ThisMorning until Ruth & Eamonn are back in October’ and ‘Thank you Eamonn and Ruth for an amazing summer. Come back again soon.’
Fans also called for them to have a full-time slot on the show again: ‘Really enjoyed #ThisMorning with @EamonnHolmes and @RuthieeL . Best presenters of the lot. Bring them back on Fridays at least.’
Others added: ‘I have thoroughly enjoyed @EamonnHolmes and @RuthieeL on @thismorning …where they belong’, ‘Thank you Ruth and Eamonn for the last 7 weeks. Always entertaining but also professional. I implore ITV to give you a regular slot again’ and ‘When will @EamonnHolmes and @RuthieeL be returning? Sooner rather than later I hope . They make the show !!!’
The pair were honoured with a ‘best bits’ reel at the end of the show, with Ruth adding: ‘Thank you very much for your company this summer and your very lovely comments.’
