Holly Willoughby is determined to stay hosting This Morning after her co-presenter Phillip Schofield torpedoed his own career by admitting to an affair with a younger colleague.
The 42-year-old mum of three, who is on a planned break from the show until June 5, wants to continue in her ITV Daytime role and has no plans to leave, an insider has claimed.
But Schofield's now-empty hosting role is proving harder to fill than ITV bosses might have thought, as other stars have been approached but are having second thoughts about taking the job, says the source.
