Jane McDonald is reportedly due to fill Phillip Schofield's shoes on Dancing on Ice after he announced he was leaving ITV last month. The singer and former Loose Women panellist is said to be the "favourite" to replace Phil, 61, after doing an incredible job at presenting the British Soap Awards in his place earlier this month.
Phil left ITV after his job as a This Morning presenter became shrouded in controversy and speculation regarding his "cooled" friendship with co-star Holly Willoughby mounted. After stepping down from his roles with the broadcaster, Phil admitted to having an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a much younger ITV colleague, something which Holly claimed he denied when she asked about it when reports first surfaced.
If Jane takes on Phil's Dancing On Ice role, she will be joining Holly rinkside as sources claim that she is keen to remain on the Sunday night winter fixture. A source told The Mirror: "Jane is now the favourite to replace Phillip on Dancing on Ice when it returns next year.
