Could Sam Thompson be the next face of This Morning? Fans have called for the I'm A Celebrity... King of the Jungle to make a permanent appearance following his brief debut alongside Josie Gibson today.
The reality TV star joined his former campmate Josie and Craig Doyle to present the ITV show's Spin to Win segment and made a good impression. The former Made In Chelsea star was also interviewed by the pair alongside Strictly Come Dancing winners Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola.
Viewers raved: "Sam Thompson is absolutely adorable."
A second agreed: "Show needs refreshing still doing spin to win!! Maybe Martin needs to go and add fresh blood in all departments. Josie, Craig & Rylan can stay, I’m thinking Sam is auditioning for a slot today."
Another said: "Sam to host This Morning with Josie."

"That’s Sam Thompson poached by YMU and on every ITV show next year then. He’ll be presenting This Morning with Josie by the summer, trust me," noted one viewer.
"Sam is a lovely person," remarked another.
The Jungle King bagged 56.64 per cent of the public vote in the I'm A Celebrity final and, according to insiders, bosses are keen to sign Sam as a possible showbiz correspondent.
Crowned by former Big Brother winner Josie Gibson, Sam admitted that his appearance in the jungle was a 'dream come true' and beyond his wildest dreams.
A TV insider told MailOnline: "There is no one that loves TV more than Sam Thompson, he has proven that throughout his stint in the jungle.
"The ITV viewers now love him back and after winning I'm A Celeb by a landslide, it makes sense to keep him on the channel and utilise his new profile.
"Producers are keen to get him on the show during days where Josie is presenting and then there's Marvin Humes too, it's important for them to nurture their talent once they have it."
A source close to Sam added: "The world is Sam's oyster career wise, and more broadcast is definitely part of the plan and a natural progression following the jungle.
"His popularity and personality lend perfectly to both daytime and entertainment formats, potentially a mix of the two.
"It'll be great to layer new exciting opportunities with his successful existing projects."

Former MIC castmate and Jungle Queen Georgia Toffolo previously landed a role on This Morning after winning the show in 2017.
It's thought Sam could also be snapped up to present a travel series alongside heavyweight boxer, runner-up and new jungle best friend, Tony Bellew.
Sam has previously hosted ITV2's Love Island spinoff show Aftersun alongside Maya Jama and former contestant Indiyah Polack, and starred in a Channel 4 documentary earlier this year based in his ADHD and autism diagnosis.
