out regular hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley for two much-loved faces: Rylan Clark and Emma Willis.
The dynamic duo, aged 36 and 49 respectively, didn’t just take over hosting duties—they took the entire show outside the studio to mark VE Day in a vibrant, street party-style celebration. Surrounded by singers and Union Jack bunting, they chatted with veterans who lived through the historic event 80 years ago.
The shake-up was met with resounding approval from fans, many of whom took to social media to express their excitement. “Lovely to have @Rylan and @EmmaWillis as the presenters,” one viewer wrote. Another gushed: “Emma looks amazing #ThisMorning.”
Even though the show has experimented with outdoor broadcasts before—just last week, Ben and Cat hosted from White City—it was the combination of the hosts and the patriotic theme that really struck a chord this time.
There were ice cream vans, smiles, and heartfelt moments. Viewers praised the energy and chemistry between Rylan and Emma, with one writing: “Emma and Rylan #ThisMorning ❤️❤️❤️”.
Not all reactions were glowing, though. Some viewers commented on the unpredictability of British weather and the London-centric vibe. “Two days of sunshine and everyone loses it,” one person posted. “It’s raining here—remember there’s life outside London.”
Still, the overall verdict was clear: the change in presenters, the festive VE Day theme, and the lively outdoor setting combined to create a hit episode that left fans saying: “I’m all for it!”
