A well known ITV star is expected to replace Philip Schofield as a host on Dancing on Ice next year. Philip took to Instagram in May to announce that after more than 20 years on the daytime show, he was stepping down as a presenter on This Morning.
He had assured his fans that he was still going to be working with ITV and involved in other programmes, but a week later the presenter issued a statement admitting to an affair with a much younger colleague on the show. This was something he kept from his family, bosses, lawyers and agents2, reports Chronicle Live.
Following the confession, the 61-year-old left ITV with immediate effect, leaving organisers of the British Soap Awards just a few days to find a replacement host. This ended up being Jane McDonald, and, after she did such a great job, it was thought she might be set to take over Philip's former role on Dancing on Ice.
