Viewers of ITV's This Morning have predicted who they think will replace Holly Willoughby after her shock exit - and have made calls for a certain duo to return to the sofa.
The presenter, 42, announced she would not be returning to the popular TV show after 14 years in a social media post on Tuesday (October 10) saying: “I have to make this decision for me and my family”.
It comes days after a man was charged over an alleged plot to kidnap and murder the TV star. Gavin Plumb, 36, has been remanded in custody after being charged with soliciting a man named David Nelson to commit murder, and incitement to commit kidnap between October 2 and 5 in Harlow, Essex.

Fans of the show have now predicted that Alison Hammond may be brought on as a replacement for Holly in a flurry of social posts, with others suggesting that Alison and Dermot O'Leary or Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle could become permanent presenters.
Betting odds, according to BonusCodeBets, have already dubbed Hammond as the firm favourite for her replacement, followed by This Morning regular Jodie Gibson.
