CRAIG Doyle has won over legions of This Morning fans during his stand-in stint over recent months.

And off-screen, he has a stunning Irish countryside pad to retreat to during his downtime.

Loyal viewers of the ITV daytime series have called for the Dubliner, 52, to replace ex host Phillip Schofield permanently.

Craig took on the high-profile telly role after Phillip, 61, quit This Morning when it emerged he had lied over the relationship with a runner almost 30 years his junior.

And while Craig has impressed on-screen, his plush countryside pad off the airwaves is just as remarkable.

Craig tends to keep his home life private but he has shared a handful of images of his stunning County Wicklow pad to Instagram.

He also showed how the cream colour scheme continues to the living spaces.

He is seen snuggled up on a neutral sofa with his dog lying on his chest.

In another image, the star's cat can be seen perched on a classic wooden table.

During his stint working from home, he gave a glimpse into his study in an office room.

There was fresh white walls complete with a black contrast wall and a huge TV mounted on the wall.

Dark wooden desks give the room a chic, stylish feel and Craig was seen perched on a stool as he spoke into his laptop.

Another image honed in on his laptop and microphone set-up.

Meanwhile, outside the family home, there's a vast expanse of grass perfect for his dog to run around.

Earlier this week, fans were impressed with Craig's stint on screen.

Those watching at home took to Twitter to share how well Craig came across during a particular segment featuring youngsters.

One said: "Think that interview cemented the permanent job for Craig hopefully #ThisMorning."

Another said: "Craig needs to be the permanent host so down to earth and likeable."

In a statement revealing his show exit, ex host Philip said he was "deeply sorry" for his affair which he said was “unwise, but not illegal”.

Since his departure the likes of Dermot O'Leary, Josie Gibson and Alison Hammond have stepped in.

Craig is one of the most sought after hosts and is best known as a presenter for BT Sport – covering the Rugby Union and MotoGP.
