This Morning's Dermot O'Leary 'replaced' as host midway through ITV show

Dermot O'Leary was suddenly 'replaced' on Tuesday's This Morning, as the host disappeared off screen after an ad break, with another ITV star taking their place alongside Holly Willoughby.

As soon as Phillip Schofield confirmed he was leaving This Morning, bookies made Dermot the immediate favourite to be his full time successor, with the former X Factor star put ahead of co-stars like Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson in the odds. And Dermot, famous in the 00s for being a presenter on the likes of T4 and Big Brother's Little Brother, has been handed a key 'advantage' in the race to get the job, by getting to host This Morning with Holly for two consecutive weeks.

Dermot and Holly were back at the helm for their second show of the week, as they were joined by regular guests Nick Ferrari and Camila Tominey and Nick Ferrari to discuss the big news stories of the day. And someone else who made their presence felt in the studio, after a few months away, was TV chef Gino D'ACampo.
