Ever since This Morning's Holly Willoughby was announced as Ant McPartlin's replacement for this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, rumours have been rife over who could be replacing her on the popular daytime talk show. The mum-of-three will join Dec Donnelly in Australia later this year as Ant takes some time out of the spotlight to focus on his addiction recovery.

And whilst Phillip Schofield is staying on the This Morning sofa whilst Holly faces creepy-crawlies down under, ITV still have yet to confirm who will join him.

On today's Good Morning Britain (1st Oct), Holly and Phil appeared together to discuss how they would cope without each other, with Holly even confessing that Phil was one of the first people she told about the new gig.

Phil said, "Holly phoned me up. She said, 'I’ve been offered this, what do you think?' I said, you have to take it, it is amazing!"

"And then he laughed at me. A lot," Holly responded, before Phil joked, "Holly can’t handle a fly coming at her... So Australia, where everything kills you..."

However, when asked about who would be replacing Holly, the pair clammed up. GMB presenter Piers asked Phil, "Do we know who the hot, young replacement is yet?" to which he coyly responded, "I do."

Holly added, "We do know who it is… he’s in very safe hands."

Although nothing has been confirmed, rumours are rife that Christine Lampard - who just gave birth to her first baby - could be taking over the role whilst Holly heads to Australia.

The TV presenter has worked with Phillip before as the pair presented Dancing On Ice together after Holly took time out to have a baby, and a TV source told the Mirror, "Christine is the natural first choice because she and Phil work so well together both on and off screen.

"Everyone has their fingers crossed because she’s such a lovely person to work with – and the viewers love her too."
