We're actually delighted with who'll be replacing Holly on This Morning

It’s one of the biggest jobs on British telly.

Holly Willoughby’s most likely replacement for hosting duties on This Morning next month has been revealed.

It’s thought that ITV has asked Rochelle Humes to front the show alongside Philip Schofield.

The Saturdays star is set to take over the role as Holly heads to Australia to present this year’s I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here with Declan Donnelly.

She herself is acting as a stand-in for Ant McPartlin, who took a step back from the show after being arrested for drink-driving earlier this year.

“As soon as bosses for This Morning learnt that Holly had accepted the role on I’m A Celebrity they drafted their wish list and Rochelle was at the top,” a source told The Sun.

“Obviously, Holly’s are big shoes to fill.

“But Rochelle has been impressing bosses with her down-to-earth nature and presenting skills for a while now.

“Rochelle is super excited about being asked and she knows what a huge career opportunity this is.”

Rochelle is no stranger to the world of presenting.

She’s previously hosted shows like Children in Need, Ninja Warrior UK and The Xtra Factor and also has her own radio show on Heart FM.
