ITV fans have called for Sam Thompson to be the permanent host of This Morning after his debut on Monday.

The I’m A Celebrity winner, 31, fronted the show’s Spin to Win segment alongside Craig Doyle and Josie Gibson.

He was also interviewed by Josie and Craig, alongside Strictly Come Dancing winners Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola.

Viewers have insisted the TV star should become a main host of the show, with one penning: ‘We need Sam for spin to win every day now that’s what I’m talking about’

Another said: ‘Sam to host This Morning with Josie’

A third added: ‘Just got to love Sam’

It comes after MailOnline revealed Sam is being lined up for a presenting role on This Morning as ITV welcome him into their extended family.

The former Made In Chelsea star scooped the title of Jungle King during Sunday night’s final of the series, earning an enormous 56.64 per cent of the public vote.

And bosses at the daytime programme are hoping to maximise on his popularity by signing Sam as their new Showbiz correspondent, given his enthusiasm for television.

During his winners’ speech after being crowned by Josie Gibson , Sam said how joining the I’m A Celeb lineup this year was a ‘dream come true’ and winning the competition went beyond his wildest imagination.

Sources close to the presenter say having him back on the channel alongside former Jungle campmate and This Morning host Josie would be brilliant and after proving there’s nothing that he can’t do, Sam would be a fantastic addition to the ITV family.

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.

Sam was in his element presenting on the ITV show

Viewers have insisted the TV star should become a main host of the show, with one penning: ‘We need Sam for spin to win every day now that’s what I’m talking about’

‘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 including his Staying Relevant podcast, which is touring in April, and his show on Hits Radio.’

TV bosses hope that Sam can follow in the footsteps of former Jungle Queen and his ex-Made In Chelsea co-star Georgia Toffolo, 29, who landed a role on This Morning after her I’m A Celeb win in 2017.

This Morning fans were baffled when Monday’s show opened with a ‘sofa of winners’

As they walked into cheering and clapping from the studio and sat down, Josie added: ‘Well done you. A sofa of winners, I bet it’s been a whirlwind for you guys hasn’t it.’

Craig quipped: ‘Let’s talk about that moment that you’ve all experienced over the last week or so when your name is announced.’

It has also been speculated that he could star in a travel series alongside runner-up Tony Bellew, 41, following the pair’s bromance in the jungle.

Replicating the success of his partnership with ex-TOWIE star Pete Wicks, the Chelsea favourite grew close to the heavyweight boxer, playing off of his boisterous personality compared to Sam’s giddy enthusiasm.

Sam became a regular face on ITV2 this year after joining the presenting panel of Love Island spinoff show Aftersun alongside host Maya Jama, 29, and former Islander Indiyah Polack, 25.

He met his long-term girlfriend Zara McDermott, 26, after she rose to fame on the series in 2018 and has since made a name for himself as a Love Island super fan.

And Zara starred on Strictly Come Dancing this year, with her commitments to the BBC show preventing her from flying to Australia, leaving Pete to meet Sam as he crossed the bridge.

Instead, the documentary maker hosted a big party at Sam’s house attended by his mum Karen, sister Louise, her fiancé Ryan and their child Leo.

As Sam was announced the winner, his friends and family watching the events unfold from London screamed with happiness and his sister Louise later posted on Instagram about being so ‘proud’ of her younger sibling.

Sam has been celebrated by viewers for embracing his ADHD, which became the subject of the star’s Channel 4 documentary earlier this year.

The programme, which aired in May, saw Sam be diagnosed with ADHD and autism after he admitted to struggling throughout his life with his short attention span and hyperactive personality.
