Richard Madeley introduced Duncan and Kate Garraway declared “All Rise” in the studio as he strutted to the band’s 2001 hit.
Sitting alongside the presenters, the 45-year-old told viewers that he rushed to Primark to buy a suit and that he had “big shoes to fill”.
He added: “I know I saw Richard’s shoes in the dressing room.”
Duncan first appeared on Good Morning Britain with his Blue bandmates over two decades ago and says the show gave them their big break and first television appearance.
He got emotional as footage of the sweet moment aired and Kate passed out at Duncan, telling him: “You haven’t changed.”
The singer quipped, “I have new teeth!”
He moved and shared the day’s showbiz news with perfect performance, telling them about Britney’s upcoming explosive TV interview with Oprah.
People at home were impressed by his GMB presentation debut and one said: “Wow Duncan, great job this morning!”
A second shared: “@GMB oh my loves let’s have more of the delicious tasty Duncan James…I need it!”
Another tweeted: “Duncan gets a 10 with flying colours; bring Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!”
