A new favourite has emerged to replace Phillip Schofield on This Morning following his high profile departure from ITV. Schofield, 61, resigned from the broadcaster on Friday and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague
After Schofield's departure from the show, attention turned to who will replace him on the sofa alongside Holly Willoughby - who is due to return to the show on Monday, June 5 following a break. Dermot O’Leary, Alison Hammond, Rochelle Humes, Rylan Clark and Josie Gibson are among those suggested as possible candidates as regular stand-ins on the show.
But bookmakers have now put Irish host Craig Doyle in the picture to replace the embattled 61-year-old Schofield long-term on the show.
