Craig is currently a regular host on This Morning, which is probably where you've seen him most recently. He's been a host on the show since 2021 and has appeared alongside a range of co-presenters including Josie Gibson, Alison Hammond, Holly Willoughby, Mollie King, Rochelle Humes and Cat Deeley.

He landed the hosting role after previously hosting the competition segments on The Morning before taking on a few guest hosting spots with Alison Hammond. After being a hit with audiences, his hosting role became more of a permanent fixture. His fellow male hosting colleagues are Rylan, Dermot O'Leary and Ben Shepherd.

Craig Doyle's wife and wedding

We love how Craig is always mentioning his wife Doon while presenting This Morning. After a long-term relationship, the pair got married in January 2002.

While Craig loves the limelight, his wife is said to be quite different and stays out of the public eye. According to The Sun, Doon was born in Glencree in Wicklow in 1972.

Craig met Doon at a gym when he was home in Ireland before he started working on Tomorrow's World. Speaking to RTÉ in 2011, he explained that Doon had been working at the gym before she started college and Craig's friend encouraged him to swing by.

Reminiscing about their first encounter, he said: "I didn't even have gym gear with me. I had a pair of shorts and a pair of shoes, I looked like a k**b and I met her and thought 'Holy God'."

Craig also talked about their third date- which didn't exactly go to plan. The couple went for a drink in Greystones in County Wicklow and Craig ended the date in a very formal manner.

He says: "We were out walking and as I left, I shook her hand. Complete nerd. She looked at me like I was a complete t**t and said, 'That was the kissing date. Why didn't you kiss me?' I was scared. I fancied her you see."

It is believed that Doon went on to become an interior designer but gave up her career to raise the couple's children.

Craig Doyle's family and children

Craig and Doon share four children together; Elsa, Milo, Muireann and Quinn. The family live in County Wicklow in Ireland but they also have a home in Kew in West London.

According to some reports, the family also have two dogs and a cat, which explains why Craig is such an animal lover whenever any furry friends visit the This Morning studios.

Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph in 2017 Craig admitted that if he could he would have many more children because he simply loves them.

Craig was also full of praise for Doon and her parenting skills saying, "Doon's full-time with them. She keeps the ship rolling; she's amazing."

He went on to add: "I go to work but I'm really only doing my hobby. She has a hell of a lot more patience than me."
