Stacey Solomon drops huge hint she will replace Phillip Schofield on This Morning

Stacey Solomon has sparked speculation she could be set to take on Phillip Schofield's role on This Morning.

The television personality, 33, left fans guessing she could fill Phil's shoes as she discussed an "exciting" meeting.

It comes after Phil, 61, immediately quit the ITV show on Saturday amid a rumoured 'feud' with co-star Holly Willoughby.

Since his departure, there has been much speculation as to who will take on the vacant role.

Stacey is no stranger to the show, as she has appeared many times to discuss her organisational skills and tips.

Fans now believe Stacey is in the running for the spot as the mum-of-five posted a cryptic message on her Instagram.

She shared a pic of a diary on a fluffy cream rug, as well as writing an emotional message.

On one of the diary pages she had handwritten the phrase: "September 2023!"

She added: “Just had one of the most exciting meetings of my life.

“I can’t even tell you how excited I am to share this with you soon. My dream.”

The Sort Your Life Out star shared the caption alongside a couple of crying emojis.

Following the post, fans took to Twitter to discuss Stacey as the next This Morning star.

One said: “After all the #ThisMorning madness, I think they should just ask Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon to be presenters! They would be perfect!”

Another added: “Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon would be brill together as hosts.”

Last year, it was rumoured ITV were eyeing up Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash to join the show's line-up amid all of the backlash surrounding 'Queuegate'.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were falsely accused of cutting in the queue to see the Queen lying in state in Westminster Hall earlier this month, and despite ITV clarifying they did not jump the line and were working, public anger remained.

A source told Closer magazine: "Executives on the show have admired Stacey Solomon for a long time. She’s a huge hit on Loose Women and has a broad appeal among all age groups who watch ITV."

They continued: "Stacey actually started talking to This Morning bosses several months ago and they made clear they saw a role for both her and Joe to work as part of the programme in the future.

"Stacey, who is a big fan of Holly, said this was something that interested them both."

During the upcoming week, both Holly and Phil will be replaced by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.

It's believed that both Holly and Phillip had planned to take the week off and would be returning to the ITV studio on June 5 in line with the half-term period.

The bookies' favourite to replace Phil is Alison Hammond as she is tipped 2/1 to join the sofa on a more regular basis.
