This Morning star Craig Doyle absolutely wowed the judges during his quarter-final heat on Celebrity MasterChef , producing dishes that were proclaimed ‘perfect’. The 53-year-old TV presenter handled the heat in the kitchen alongside fellow contestants Ian ‘H’ Watkins from Steps, 48, and 50-year-old radio DJ and presenter Edith Bowman. In fact, he did so well – sailing through to place in the semi-final – that fans have demanded he take up a new role on This Morning .

The popular ITV programme often features different regular segments, including a cooking one with a vast array of celebrity chef guests like Gino D’Acampo, Phil Vickery and Clodagh McKenna. However, following his triumphant turn on MasterChef on Friday night, some viewers were ready to see Craig in the kitchen on This Morning too. ‘They could use Craig Doyle as the chef on This Morning when he’s presenting and save a few quid,’ joked Greg Phillips on X.

Fan Pat O’Shea also praised the Irishman as ‘brilliant’, while @mostlystupid chimed in: ‘Must admit – Craig’s ace on Celebrity MasterChef at the moment.’ ‘Given CraigDoyle is a #ThisMorming host who watches chefs cook every day – I expected him to be good on #CelebrityMasterChef #MasterChefUK,’ pointed out Ryan Glendenning, before adding: ‘He’s doing brilliantly.’ Tim Bolton also called the broadcaster a ‘frontrunner already’.

Craig admitted he was pushing it with the two ambitious dishes he selected, seeing as he.
