This Morning presenter Craig Doyle reveals thieves ‘nicked’ his expensive race bike to co-host Josie Gibson

This Morning presenter Craig Doyle has revealed that his bike has been stolen. Speaking to viewers and co-host Josie Gibson, Doyle explained his “bike was nicked”.

The pair have stepped in to take over from This Morning presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary who revealed last week that they would be stepping down for an extended summer break. They are not the first presenters to take time off for the holidays, with Lorraine Kelly and Susanna Reid both taking time off until September.

I have memories on my bike, do you know what I means? If there’s someone walking round right now and they aren’t able to walk very well, it’s because the saddle is tiny and it hurts.”
