Holly, 42, has presented the daytime TV show alongside a rotating roster of ITV stars including Josie Gibson, Alison Hammond, Dermot O'Leary and Craig Doyle.

But it appears Ben, 48, is joining in with presenter duties, as revealed on Friday’s show.

At the end of This Morning on Friday, Alison shared: "Holly will be back on Monday when she's going to be presenting alongside the lovely Ben Shephard.”

Dermot added: "Yeah, as it should be!"

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, some viewers said they “can’t keep up” with the changing presenters.

One person wrote: “Now Ben is part of the This Morning team? I can’t keep up with these different presenters nice to see Ben though.”

Another added: “Ben on This Morning? What’s going on now?”

Someone else wrote: “Hang on, did they say Ben Shepherd's presenting Monday?! This new format really hasn't settled down, just appears to be 'whoever is free' rather than 'who's best-qualified to present' #thismorning.”

But most were quick to share their excitement that the GMB was joining Holly to present the show.

One person said: “OMG Ben on this morning? That’s all my work cancelled until lunchtime?”

A second echoed: “Oooh a lovely bit of Ben Shephard? Don’t mind if I do.”

A third person wrote: “Ben seems like such a natural fit on This Morning. I hope they make it more permanent.”

The 48-year-old has hosted This Morning before, and joined Holly on the show back in 2017.
