Rylan Clark and Emma Willis could become the next permanent hosts of This Morning – if fans of the show have their say.

The Voice host returned to This Morning after five years and Rylan kicked off the show by giving his friend a big hug. "Hello, good morning, and welcome to a new week on This Morning, and welcome back the one and only Emma Willis," Rylan began.

The duo hugged as Rylan said: "I love you." "It's been a minute, hasn't it?" Emma remarked as her co-host added: "It has been a minute. It's been...we can't get out of each other's pockets, can we?"

"Five years it has been," Emma revealed. "I was thinking about it the other day and I thought, 'It's been a couple of years since I last did it', five years."

"Five years that is quite frightening," Rylan said as Emma continued: "Five years, we have seen each other a lot since then including Friday night." The new presenting duo were a huge hit with ITV viewers on Monday and were joined by guests including Spice Girl Geri Halliwell-Horner while Gok Wan cooked up a storm in the kitchen.
