Viewers have named Davina McCall as The Nightly Show’s best host so far after another impressive night at the helm.
The experienced presenter has been turning opinions of the heavily slammed ITV chat show around this week, bringing on extra guests and audience participation.
Wednesday night’s “singles” episode saw her interview Take Me Out face Paddy McGuinness and pantomime star Julian Clary, orchestrate a mini matchmaking session and run a race around the studio all in the space of 30 minutes.
She Came, She Saw, She Conquered. Big Congrats to @ThisisDavina – can't wait to see what else she has planned this week! #TheNightlyShow pic.twitter.com/od4l91WEPm

Fans even forgave Davina’s swearing slip when she admitted to Clary that he had once “scared the shit” out of her by telling her not to touch him when the pair featured on 1990s Magaluf game show Prickly Heat.
@ThisisDavina best host of The Nightly Show. Me and @craigrogers89 can't wait to see @MelanieCmusic glad she's on your week #GirlPower xx

@Eley01 @ThisisDavina @ITVNightlyShow Every week the ratings are getting less and less with a new host. Davina deserves a better show.

@Eley01 @ThisisDavina @ITVNightlyShow @bbuk I reckon a channel could easy give Davina her own show, maybe a new reality format or a quiz.

@GeoffShadbold @SteveDoherty1 and I think Davina McCall is pretty great at what she does usually

Viewer ratings have steadily dropped since the week night programme launched, previously hosted by comedians David Walliams and John Bishop.Anticipating criticism, Davina told her social media followers she would be taking a break from Twitter until her stint finished at the end of the week.
