This Morning

Plot twist: Amanda Holden and Fern Britton.

Rochelle, Mark Wright, Gok Wan, Rylan and the usual suspects at a guess. I'd really like to see Emily Atack back - I thought she was very good.

Last year Eamonn and Ruth went off for two weeks and the presenting lineup was dreadful. I suspect they'll keep experimenting lineups on Fridays.

I thought Emily Atack was brilliant.

Oh gosh yeah I’d forgotten about the random pulling names out of a hat Nigel Havers and Lisa Snowdon pairing!

John Leslie arrested again. I think we can rule out a comeback for him this summer.

Eamonn had marked his card anyway by saying he wouldn't be back as a presenter.

I don't think anyone ever thought he would be.

Sarcasm

I don't think television history remembered this but in between leaving TVam and launching Good Morning Anne and Nick actually guest hosted This Morning.

Does anyone remember @theannediamond & @nickowentv presenting @thismorning in Nov 1989? Those two really should get their own show😉 @russty_russ @KillianM2 @AdamNostalgia @transdiffusion @80sNostalgia @CuriousUkTelly @htwcentral @putthetellyon @thetvmuseum pic.twitter.com/qlGnwwWWJZ

That just looks like they were guests on This Morning to me?

For a week in 1989, they did present when Richard and Judy were on holiday. That then gave one of them, don't know if it was Anne or Nick, the idea of pitching a similar show to the BBC.

I would think it was Anne as she was married at the time to television producer Mike Hollingsworth who was Editor of the first two series of “Good Morning with Anne and Nick”. A much better programme and more intelligent presenters.

Good to see Anne being the permanent stand in for the vile Jeremy Vine.

I like Anne. I also thought she was great on Loose Women. She seems to have stepped down from that role, though.

Eamonn and the Return of Ruth today.
