X Factor's Olly Murs insists he isn't coming for This Morning job as he steps in as host

This Morning viewers issued a demand as Olly Murs stepped in to host on today's show.

Wednesday's edition of ITV's flagship daytime programme was fronted by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. The regular hosts fronted another jam-packed edition, which included an interview with the former X Factor star.

Olly appeared on the show to discuss his upcoming tour and the return of Starstruck to our screens. However, he appeared on the show earlier than his scheduled slot as he wanted to spin the wheel on the In It to Win it feature.

Olly thrilled fans following the show on Twitter as a new batch of viewers were able to win some amazing prizes. Phil and Holly even allowed Olly to read from the autocue as they cut to the next section of adverts.

Phil praised Olly's skills at the end of their interview as he joked: "Well done by the way. Some serious heads watching your presenting skills."

Olly is fashioning a new career for himself as a presenter but he insisted he isn't coming for a This Morning job just yet. He said: "Your jobs are safe."
