This Morning viewers 'surprised' as they make same comment on Olivia Attwood's debut
Olivia Attwood joined the This Morning sofa alongside Dermot O'Leary this morning as she made her presenting debut on the show weeks after making the exciting announcement
This Morning underwent a huge presenter shake-up this morning, as former Love Island star Olivia Attwood stepped up to the presenting role for the first time.
It's not the star's first major gig on ITV daytime, having joined the Loose Women presenters on the panel as a regular in August 2023. She also has her own show on the channel, The Price of Perfection, in which she goes behind the scenes of cosmetic procedures, examining society's obsession with the 'perfect' body.
Olivia stepped straight into her This Morning role, warmly welcomed by fellow co-host Dermot O'Leary. However, they couldn't resist making a gag at the height difference between the two – as Olivia joked she had to wear smaller heels to present alongside her co-host.
Elsewhere on the show, Olivia opened up about her ADHD diagnosis during a news segment with Ashley James and Gyles Brandreth.
Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter upon her debut, with many saying she was a 'great addition' to the line-up. One impressed fan penned: "Love to see Olivia is presenting on #thismorning great addition!" as a second agreed: "Loving Olivia!"
"Good to see you in the show. You are doing great," another tweeted about the former Love Island star.
Others were left surprised with their feelings towards the star presenting, as one penned: "Don't shoot me down but I actually like Olivia presenting!"
Another replied: "tbh I like Olivia, there are way more insufferable people than her and at least her documentaries aren't just a reality show all about me me me."
Olivia isn't the only former Love Island star to land a role on the huge ITV morning show, as awkwardly, her ex Chris Hughes joined the programme after his stint on Celebrity Big Brother.
Chris, who finished as a finalist on CBB and is now dating his fellow former housemate JoJo Siwa, regularly joins the show via two-way to host the competitions.
However, it doesn't look like the two will be having an awkward run in during Olivia's debut, but as she's hosting all Summer, it could happen in the future...
Yesterday, regular Summer and Friday presenter Alison Hammond announced it was her final show before taking a break for the next few weeks. Before the show ended, Alison and her co-host Dermot O'Leary gave each other a huge hug as she said, "See you in September, bye!"
