Popular ITV presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have announced that they will be taking some time off from This Morning over the Easter break, and although it pains us to see them go, we will be greeted with two familiar faces as their replacements.

Fans of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here will be delighted to have their screens graced once again by the 2018 favourites Emily Atack and John Barrowman. Taking to Instagram, Emily shared her joy on the announcement, sharing a snap of the two and writing, 'Morning little chicks! Well isn’t this exciting. I’ll be hosting This Morning with my beloved Barrowman 💓 and we approve of you having Buck’s Fizz while you watch 🐣 see you next Friday 12th April!! @thismorning ❤️🧡💛💚💙' sic

Fans were quick to congratulate the pair, with one writing, 'This is amazing!!! Super proud!!! ❤️' sic, and another writing, 'Brilliant! Been waiting for these 2 to get presenting together! Take over the tv world guys!! 👍🏻 X' sic.

The two will be appearing on our screens from 12th April, and we can't wait to see what they have in store for us.

Speaking about her role, Emily said, "I am absolutely over the moon to be joining This Morning with my best mate John Barrowman over Easter. It’s a dream come true to be presenting one of my favourite shows. I look ­forward to being on the iconic sofa. We’re going to have so much fun.”

It has also been reported that if Emily impresses the ITV bosses, she might just have a few more big presenting roles in the future, with a source saying, “Bosses think This Morning is a great opportunity for Emily and there’s no reason why it couldn’t open much bigger doors if it goes well.”

We believe in you, Emily!
