Amanda Holden 'in talks to replace Phillip Schofield' on Dancing On Ice this weekend

ok.co.uk:

Amanda Holden may be replacing Phillip Schofield on Dancing on Ice in the wake of him testing positive for Covid. Phillip usually hosts the well-loved competition alongside best pal Holly Willoughby, but this weekend remains up in the air after the 59 year old tested positive for Covid on Monday 31 January.

Reportedly both Alison Hammond and Rochelle Humes are also being considered to replace the hosting veteran while he isolates.

A source said: “ITV are a progressive channel who want to reflect the modern world as much as possible. “And while Dancing on Ice’s bosses are gutted to see Phillip forced to temporarily step out of hosting duties, that also presents an opportunity to have two women front the show.” They continued to tell The Sun: “Producers have seen the energy that Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman have brought to Strictly and they’re curious to see how Holly bounces off another female presenter. “But there’s no question of Phillip not returning.

He’ll be champing at the bit to get back to work.” Phillip expressed his concerns about not being able to host Dancing On Ice this Sunday while chatting to Alison and Rochelle via video link on This Morning.
