Jane McDonald is unlikely to be Phillip Schofield’s replacement on ITV Dancing On Ice. The Channel 5 star stepped in to replace Phillip as host for the British Soap Awards on ITV following his affair scandal with a younger colleague.
Experts have said that it’s unlikely that ITV bosses will replace the 61-year-old on Dancing On Ice with Jane, reports Birmingham Live. PR expert Jordan James told Entertainment Daily!: “The This Morning couch isn’t the only empty space that needs to be filled, with Phillip Schofield’s not-so-graceful bowing out from television, with his gig on Dancing On Ice currently needing to be filled.
“Once another instance for the public to get a fill of the iconic Phillip-Holly dynamic, the show is now scrambling to find someone to fill the once-beloved star’s shoes.” He added: “Jane McDonald has been rumoured to be one of the potential co-hosts. While Jane is generally liked by the public, I think the show could do with drawing in a younger audience with a more well-known co-host.”
