This Morning stars Siân Welby and Craig Doyle bid farewell to viewers on Friday afternoon ahead of Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard's return to the show next week.
Siân, Craig and a roster of other familiar faces have held down the fort in the studio over the past few weeks as Cat, Ben and Friday hosts Alison Hammond and Ben Shephard enjoyed their summer break.
At the end of Friday's programme, Craig said: "That's it, thank you for such a great week. What a summer, Sian, it's been such a hoot hasn't it?"

Signing off, Craig confirmed the regular hosts would be back on our screens next week. "Ben and Cat are back on Monday, Alison and Derm will be back on Fridays, take care of yourselves," he said.
It's safe to say, fans have been loving watching stand-in hosts Craig and Siân on their screens this week and are hoping to see more of them in the future. Taking to social media, one person praised their on-screen partnership, writing: "It's been absolutely refreshing to watch Sian and Craig presenting this week. They work so well together. They both should be signed up to be permanent hosts," while another added: "@thismornin absolutely loving Sian and Craig on the show, please keep them on so natural & funny."

The ad sees the foursome laughing and joking while dressed in brightly-coloured outfits. Watch it below.
This Morning's editor Martin Frizell praised the feel-good promo. "Full credit to our promo team for this idea and execution," he said. "I know that it was no mean feat getting a rather large sofa and four hosts up on the roof during one of the hottest days this summer!
