This Morning's Rochelle Humes has viewers calling for her to be given permanent hosting job

This Morning's stand-in presenter Rochelle Humes has sparked calls from impressed viewers to have her on the show more often.

Singer turned TV host Rochelle has been presenting the ITV show alongside Phillip Schofield after Holly Willoughby took an extended break to work on something she 'can't wait to share' with fans.

And she has earned the backing of viewers, with some even saying they'd be quite happy to her to be a full time replacement for Holly.

As Rochelle presented the final show of her stand-in stint on Thursday, one fan tweeted: " l love @RochelleHumes on @thismorning can she stay forever please."

In firm agreement, another commented: "Said it before and I’ll say it again cos I love her so much, even though I didn’t really know her before this week, get @RochelleHumes as a permanent presenter @thismorning," and a third appealed: "As a viewer of years, I'm so taken with @RochelleHumes she looks smart, is a great presenter, has a great personality, funny and is awesome alongside Philip"

Dubbed 'effortless' by other This Morning viewers, Rochelle, who was left in hysterics by co-star Alison Hammond on her last day, has been a cover presenter on the show for a number of years, as well as hosting fashion segments, and also has her own BBC Saturday night show - The Hit List - with husband Marvin.

Other fans claim that This Morning's Friday presenter Dermot O'Leary would be Rochelle's 'perfect' co-host, with them urging bosses to give her a try in the slot previously occupied by husband and wife duo Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.

One tweeted: "Anyone else think that Rochelle should partner Dermot on Fridays? She is such a natural!" but others want an Alison and Rochelle double act, with another tweeting: "why can’t Rochelle present Fridays with Alison instead of Dermot?

"Dermot fidgets far too much and constantly taps stuff. Rochelle would be much more professional for this type of show. Dermot was fine as a one off in summer but not every week."
