BEN Shephard and Cat Deeley are returning to host This Morning today following the Easter Break.
The presenters, who took over the show for good earlier this year, will be joined by some very famous faces as they kick off the week.
Legendary boyband Take That, featuring Howard, Gary and Mark, will be there alongside Stacey Solomon and radio DJ Chris Evans.
This Morning fans were looking forward to the Cat and Ben being back on the telly, with one person writing: “Thank goodness for that, I have not watched for 2 weeks.”
A second said: “Love these two fabulous presenters …kind caring and articulate with a wealth of knowledge too.”
While a third added: “Love these two. So refreshing.”
Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary have been hosting the show for the past two weeks.
News of their return comes after The Sun revealed that This Morning’s viewing figures have slumped to the lowest since Holly Willoughby announced she was following Philip Schofield out of the door.
Cat and Ben had a peak of just over 1.03million watching when they took over on March 11 — but by March 26 the figure was down to just 692,500.
That is the fewest since Holly’s last day on October 10 and lower than Philip’s last day the previous May when 767,00 were watching.
The last episode Ben and Cat hosted, on March 28, brought a slight rise to 830,000.
Yet even that is well below the peak of 1.3million to 1.5million typically enjoyed by BBC1 rival Morning Live.
A TV insider said: “The hope was that the new duo would bring back an air of stability and familiarity back to This Morning. It’s still relatively early days, but the signs are not good.
“After the initial flurry of interest on their first day in the job, the viewing figures almost immediately dipped back into six figures.
“ITV bosses will be hoping they can turn things around before the next big milestone date as they’ve so much riding on Ben and Cat being a success.”
Philip, 62, left This Morning in May after admitting he had a fling with a much younger runner on the show.
Holly, 43, quit following news of an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her.
