Good Morning Britain fans call for Rob Rinder to be made full-time host on ITV show

Good Morning Britain fans have called for Robert Rinder to be made a full-time host on the ITV show.

Viewers who tuned into the programme on Wednesday morning were thrilled to see Rob sitting alongside regular host Susanna Reid and called for him to be given more presenting duties on the show.

Fans took to Twitter to share their excitement at Rob being back in the hot seat, as they praised his "natural" presenting skills and spoke of the "great rapport and warm friendship" between him and his co-host.

One viewer wrote: "I absolutely LOVE Wednesdays now on @GMB, it means the lovely @RobbieRinder is presenting."

"Love Rob Rinder presenting #gmb he's a natural, also he and Susanna have a great rapport, no one-upmanship or showing off, just warm friendship. #gmb," another added.

A third fan shared: "Loving Judge Rinder on #gmb. He's a great presenter! #judgerinder @RobbieRinder," with a fourth adding: "Absolute joy to watch @RobbieRinder on #GMB. Funny, empathetic and easy to watch first thing in the morning."

"I just love @RobbieRinder on @GMB. He comes across very sincere #gmb," a fifth wrote, with a sixth sharing online: " @RobbieRinder is excellent on Good Morning Britain. #GMB."

The Mirror broke the news that Rob would be joining Good Morning Britain alongside Ed Balls, as they front the show alongside the likes of Adil Ray, Alastair Campbell, Richard Madeley and Martin Lewis.

A source said: "It’s been talked about as a super-group of presenters with dif­­ferent personalities, styles and opinions.

"Each brings something fresh to the table and Susanna is the perfect co-host in bringing out their respective qualities."

Rob, 43, had previously said of his appointment: "Being a seasoned barrister will stand me in good stead on the show, demonstrating I’m as comfortable holding politicians to account as I am judging the week’s TV on the Gogglebox sofa.

"Plus, who wouldn’t want the chance to guest present alongside one of their best friends?"

Whilst Ed added: "I always thoroughly enjoy being a guest on Good Morning Britain but I have a sneaky suspicion I’m going to enjoy hosting alongside Susanna even more. I was a guest during my stint on Strictly and Susanna and I recreated one of my dance lifts. I can reassure everyone that won’t happen again and my feet will be firmly on the ground."
