THIS MORNING’S HUGE REVAMP REVEALED AFTER HOLLY EXIT
This Morning is to undergo a “complete revamp” in the new year following Holly Willoughby’s shock departure.
ITV bosses are casting the net for “the new Phil and Holly”, with untested hosts taking over in a redesigned set from January.
The current roster of on-screen talent — including Alison Hammond, Craig Doyle, Josie Gibson, Dermot O’Leary and Rochelle Humes — will all remain in place, working around the incoming presenters.
Network favourite Ben Shephard is one name in the frame as a fallback to take over from Phillip Schofield, who was unceremoniously axed in May.
He will be screen-tested alongside a host of potential “exciting” female names.
An insider said: "A stream of exciting presenters, from all walks of life, will meet execs over the next few weeks until they find a pairing with the perfect chemistry."
News of the rebrand came within hours of Holly’s emotional statement announcing her decision to quit after 14 years - and as viewing figures fall.
