As fans of popular daytime show This Morning gear up for the first ever Sunday episode of the show, it has been revealed that regular host Phillip Schofield will NOT appear on the show on Monday 21st January.

Phillip, who co-hosts the series with Holly Willoughby, is taking a day off from his usual duties and fans are going to LOVE his replacement!

Performer and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 2018 star John Barrowman has been announced as Phillip's temporary replacement, with the 51-year-old set to host the show alongside Holly.

John said, “I am delighted to co-host This Morning, it’s such an iconic show and to be reunited with Holly – a familiar face from my jungle family – is just fabulous. I’m really looking forward to it.”

By the sounds of it, fans are VERY excited to see John host the show. One fan wrote, 'Oh this is going to be amazing', with another adding, 'Oh yes I will be watching. I love john'. sic

John turned out to be a popular camp mate when he appeared on the 2018 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, making it to the final three alongside Emily Atack and eventual King of the Jungle, Harry Redknapp.
