Alison Hammond addresses Holly Willoughby's replacement on This Morning

A Channel Five presenter has reportedly emerged as a front runner to take over Holly Willoughby's sought-after This Morning role. While ITV is said to be considering some of the biggest names in the industry, they are also reportedly considering up-and-coming talent. And now, Scottish TV presenter Storm Huntley, 36, is understood to be a favourite to take on the job.The TV star presents segments on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine programme and also has her own spin-off of the show called Storm Huntley.

ITV has updated it's policy on work relationships, months after Phillip Schofield admitted to having an "unwise but not illegall" affair with a younger male colleague.

TV presenter Ruth Langsford said she would “consider” a return to This Morning, following the abrupt exit from Holly Willoughby earlier this month. Holly took to Instagram on Tuesday, 10 October, to share a shock statement that said she was leaving after 14 years and "will not be returning." Holly's statement began: “I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning.To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so much.This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together." Since Holly’s departure, a number of other This Morning hosts have stood in her place, including Alison Hammond, Josie Gibson and Rochelle Humes. Now former This Morning host Ruth Langsford has said she would “consider” returning, although she said reports that the show wants her back “aren’t true”.

Long before she became one of the most popular and well-known presenters on This Morning, Josie Gibson found TV fame in an entirely different way.
