Rochelle Humes has spoken on her This Morning future following speculation that she may not return.
The former Saturdays star has stepped in for the regulars to co-host the talk show since 2013 if they were unavailable. She previously stood in for Holly Willoughby in 2018 while she was competing in I'm a Celebrity...Get Met Out OF Here!
This week, Rochelle spoke about what's in store for her at ITV while conducting a Q&A on Instagram, after she was supposedly snubbed by presenter Holly Willoughby. After being asked point blank, the presenter has confirmed that she will be retuning to the daytime show.
Earlier this month, Holly failed to mention Rachel on her first day back after the controversy surrounding her former co-host Philip Schofield. Addressing the situation, Willoughby commended her fellow presenters, but Rachel didn't make the cut.
“Myself, Josie, Dermot, Alison, Craig, and every single person who works on this show will continue to work hard every single day to bring you the show we love,” Holly said in an on-air speech.
In an ‘ask me anything’ session, one fan asked Rochelle ‘Are you still hosting This Morning?', to which Rochelle replied: “Yes I’m back in the summer...” The last time the 34-year-old hosted This Morning was back in April when Phillip Schofield had just stepped down from the show.
Before Phil revealed he had lied about having an “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a much younger male colleague while he was married, Rochelle praised her co-host.
Sharing photos of her and Phil together presenting This Morning, she wrote: “I’ve proudly been a part of the This Morning family for almost 10 years and over the last few, it has been an absolutely pleasure learning so much from you.
"Thanks for all the lessons – you’re a fountain of love, knowledge and laughter.” But as Rochelle hadn’t been seen on the show since, it got fans wondering if new career plans were afoot.
Over on her Instagram page, Rochelle recently revealed to her 2.2 million followers that she had a swanky new office installed in her London home. She took to social media to tease one of her next projects uploading a sultry snap of herself wearing just a white towelling robe.
Looking stunning as she gazed into the camera, the mum-of-three wrote: “It’s a wrap.” Appearing to hint it could be a fashion shoot or possible new TV show, Rochelle added: “Two days shooting winter in the blazing sunshine... completed it mate.”
Rochelle – who is married to JLS star turned TV and radio host Marvin Humes – explained: “On my way to day 2 of shooting my next campaign. Always so grateful for these days and the incredible team behind them.
"So lucky to create such a nice gang that I get to do this with.”
But fans will have to wait until later in the year to see what Rochelle is referring to.
