Phillip and Holly's This Morning replacements odds tip Vernon and Rochelle to take over after row

While their future on This Morning doesn't look to be an doubt, despite the controversy surrounding them at present and a petition being set up to get the axed, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby's potential replacements have been revealed, with Vernon Kay and Rochelle Humes the favourites.

Phillip and Holly are facing a huge backlash from ITV viewers over the 'queue jump' accusations levelled against them over their visit to Westminster Hall, where the Queen was lying in state last week before her funeral. While hundreds of thousands of people queued up, some for 14 hours, to see Her Majesty's coffin, Holly and Phillip managed to access the Hall without having to stand in a long line.

They were spotted inside by people watching the BBC's lying in state live stream and their appearance immediately sparked controversy online as viewers realised that they hadn't been in the queue with everyone else, including stars like David Beckham, Susanna Reid and Kelly Holmes. This Morning issued a statement a day later, saying Phillip and Holly had been given access as "members of the world's media," but that did little to quell the anger aimed at them.
