This Morning fans were thrilled on Monday as Emma Willis and Rylan Clark reunited to present the ITV show.
Emma, 47, previously hosted Big Brother during its previous incarnation on Channel 5, while Rylan, 35, fronted sister show Bit On The Side, and the duo have hosted This Morning together in the past.
The star has replaced Cat Deeley, who hosted This Morning alongside Rylan earlier this month.
Opening the programme, Rylan said: ‘Hello and welcome to another week of This Morning – and welcome back the one and only, Emma Willis!’
The former Big Brother duo then shared a heartwarming embrace to applause from around the studio, before Rylan added: ‘They love you!’

Emma responded: ‘It’s been a minute hasn’t it?’
Rylan joked: ‘We can’t get out of each other’s pockets can we?’
Emma continued: ‘Five years, its been. I was thinking about it the other day that it has been five years since I last did it. But no, five years.’
Rylan added: ‘Five years. That’s quite frightening.’
Fans have already called for Rylan and Emma to be made permanent presenters following Holly Willoughby’s dramatic departure.
One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘This morning is so much better with Emma and Rylan presenting together! They need to be the permanent presenters from now on pls’
Another said: ‘Rylan & Emma are the perfect hosts of #ThisMorning’
A third added: ‘Please can we have Rylan and Emma Willis on permanently’
It comes after Rylan was tipped as the bookies favourite to land a permenant stint on the show, and replace Phillip Schofield.
William Hill announced that Rylan Clark has 5/4 odds to take over from Phillip Schofield and more recently Holly Willoughby who left the show amid shocking kidnap and murder threats.
Opening the programme, Rylan said: ‘Hello and welcome to another week of This Morning – and welcome back the one and only, Emma Willis!’

Rylan, is currently presenting the show on a temporary rotating basis, and has joined stars including Cat, and Josie Gibson.
His high odds will be welcome news to Rylan who has had a tough year due to his mother’s ill health.
Rylan is currently a rotating presenter from Monday to Thursday alongside Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle, Rochelle Humes , and Ben Shepherd.
Multiple fans of Rylan have taken to social media to express that they think he would be perfect for the job.
After his joint appearance with Josie, one wrote: ‘Not watched this morning in ages….. but tuned in this week. LOVED IT!!! dear @thismorning here’s your permanent presenters!!’
One other said: ‘@Rylan should be a permanent host of This Morning on @ITV great guy, a great presenter.’
A third fan said: ‘I haven’t read one bad comment about Rylan & Josie presenting This Morning! This is the presenting duo we so desperately need to keep on our tv screens!! #rylan#josie#thismorning’

It comes after Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby quit the ITV show
However, the duo being permanent seems unlikely as Josie has just 50/1 odds of replacing Holly.
The favourite to replace Holly is Loose Women’s Christine Lampard.
Holly left the show last month ‘for the sake of her family’ after discovering she was the target of a foiled kidnap and murder plot and has since not been replaced permanently.
It came five months after Philip Schofield’s departure after his affair with a young male showrunner was made public, followed by claims of an increasingly strained relationship with his co-host
