Speculation is building about who will replace Phillip Schofield as This Morning host - with Bristol's Josie Gibson among the favourites. Phil stepped down from This Morning with "immediate effect" over the weekend, as ITV released a statement confirming the presenter's departure.
The 61-year-old, who had sat on the sofa alongside Fern Britton and then Holly Willoughby amongst a host of other presenters, is waving goodbye to the flagship daytime show after more than two decades of presenting it. ITV has shared that Holly will continue to present the programme, once she has returned from a break next month, alongside "members of the This Morning family" until the broadcaster finds Phil's replacement.
Meanwhile, fan favourites Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary are due to step in and present today's instalment of the show. The Daily Record reports that bookmakers Ladbrokes has shared its odds for those most likely to replace Phil and present This Morning alongside Holly permanently.
