Here's everyone who could replace Holly Willoughby on This Morning...
She's going down under
Last updated 2nd Sep 2018
So in the biggest non-surprise of the week, This Morning's Holly Willoughby was announced as the co-host for this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! alongside Declan Donnelly.
Dec's other half, Ant McPartlin, has had a well-publicised battle with addiction, and made the decision to step down from all his presenting duties until 2019 after relapsing - meaning that he will miss I'm A Celebrity and Saturday Night Takeaway, which has been cancelled for next year.
It turns out that Dec and Holly have been pals for years - and her stepping in to co-host the show with Dec was even spookily predicted last series. But whilst Holly is in Australia, who will host This Morning with Phillip Schofield? Will he still present it with someone else OR will he step down too?
This Morning: Holly Willoughby's potential replacements
Amanda Holden
Amanda Holden is currently the favourite to replace Holly Willoughby on This Morning when she flies out to Australia later this year. Coral's Harry Aitkenhead said, "Amanda stepped in for Holly back in 2014 when she was on maternity leave and she's our favourite to help Phillip once again whilst Holly goes into the jungle."
Rylan Clark-Neal
Rylan Clark-Neal is a regular face on This Morning - he had a long stint on the show as a showbiz reporter, and occasionally stands in as a presenter when the regular hosts are away.
Emma Willis
Rylan often works well with Emma Willis, who is his Celebrity Big Brother partner. They presented together earlier this year and went down an absolute treat with viewers.
Rochelle Humes
The Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes may be currently presenting Lorraine whilst Lorraine Kelly is away, but it wouldn't be too difficult to hop to a different ITV set, we're sure. She's also presented the show in the absence of other presenters before, too.
Gok Wan
Fashion guru Gok Wan was a huge hit with viewers when he hosted the show alongside Rylan Clark-Neal earlier this year, so perhaps he'll return whilst Holly's down under.
Fern Britton
Fern Britton was the face of This Morning for a whopping 10 years, presenting the show alongside current host Phillip Schofield and formerly John Leslie between 1999 and 2009, when she left on her 52nd birthday. She'd be the perfect stand-in!
Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford
Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford present This Morning on a Friday and also when Phillip and Holly are on their holidays. Could it be that Phillip will step aside too, and make way for the two to continue their partnership?
Christine Lampard
Although Christine Lampard (née Bleakley) is often a stand-in for Holly Willoughby and has presented alongside Phillip before - they're good pals - she's heavily pregnant and will most likely have given birth and be on maternity leave by the time I'm A Celeb...! comes around. But who knows!
Sarah Greene
Sarah Greene has been presenting on TV since 1980, and previously worked with Phillip on Going Live! for six years. She stood in for Holly and presented with Phil once again on This Morning a number of times last year.
Alison Hammond
Alison Hammond is an absolute HOOT and is well-loved by This Morning viewers for her occasional segments - who can forget that moment she surprised an elderly lady in her home with Ainsley Harriott?! More of that please.
Jeremy Kyle
Although he has never presented This Morning, talk show host Jeremy Kyle has stepped in to present Good Morning Britain a fair few times over the last year or so - could he do the same for This Morning?
Vanessa Feltz
Vanessa Feltz has been a TV personality since 1992 - so she's VERY experienced. Having previously presented the show, she wouldn't be a stranger to the show.
Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan
Richard and Judy were the OG presenters on This Morning, hosting from the very start in 1988 to 2001. The husband and wife duo went on to have their own show, entitled Richard & Judy, so perhaps they'll return to their roots in Holly's absence.
Ben Shephard
Ben Shepherd is a regular face on the ITV circuit - not only is he a regular presenter for Good Morning Britain, he also hosts daytime challenge show Tipping Point. He's an official stand-in on This Morning, so he could be a front-runner to present the show.
Mollie King
Strictly Come Dancing star Mollie King presented This Morning throughout August this year, so she's got the experience! She even looks a titchy bit like Holly... Well, they're both blonde at least. Coral's Harry Aitkenhead added, "Mollie King is another in the mix and as a hugely popular figure at the moment would certainly go down well with the viewers."
Olivia Attwood
Love Island 2017 star Olivia Attwood has appeared on This Morning as a presenter previously, so there's a chance she could take over Holly's role.
