Jane McDonald is favourite to replace Phillip Schofield and present ‘top ITV show’

Travel show host and cruise ship singer Jane McDonald has been tipped as the number one choice to replace Phillip Schofield on ITV’s Dancing On Ice. It comes after Jane stood in for the former This Morning presenter at the British Soap Awards earlier this month.

ITV bosses were reportedly impressed with her performance and now the 60-year-old could take over from Phillip to host the skating show alongside Holly Willoughby, 42, reports The Mirror. Sources have already confirmed that Holly has no plans to quit Dancing On Ice.

An insider told The Mirror: “Jane is now the favourite to replace Phillip on Dancing on Ice when it returns next year. She did a great job hosting the Soap Awards earlier this month and bosses are keen to sign her up. She had people in stitches – and they love how frank she is, while also being very warm.”
