This Morning's Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary have broken their silence about the new hosts joining them on ITV. It's finally been confirmed that Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley are taking over from Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield as the main show presenters.

Rylan Clark has spoken out over the news that Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard have been announced as the new permanent hosts of This Morning. After Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield left, fans have been left who would take over, but some are now fuming that Rylan hasn't been chosen for the permanent position.

Rumours have circulated over who could take Holly Willoughby’s daytime crown since she left This Morning last year. Josie Gibson, whose humour, sunny personality and down-to-earth presenting style has made her hugely popular with viewers, has been a frontrunner – tipped for great things when she came out of the I’m A Celeb jungle last December, in fourth place. Yet the laid-back mum-of-one, who joined the This Morning family in 2019, seemed to hint in a rather cryptic post on her Instagram Stories recently, that she wants to take a step back from all the whispers that have been swirling for months.

This Morning was brutally snubbed at the TV Choice Awards, following a difficult year for ITV's flagship daytime series.

Sian Welby, who went down a storm recently when she presented This Morning alongside co-star Dermot O’Leary for the first time, has revealed a secret sadness the presenter and her family have lived with, the past few years. As she discussed a revolutionary new blood test that can detect Alzheimer's disease during its early stages, Sian revealed on-air that her father Ian, 83, is battling vascular dementia one of more than 900,000 people living with the cruel condition across the UK.Telling Dermot it was “devastating”, she added: “You're scared to lose a person that you know, it is quite frightening! Like you say, would I want to take a test knowing I could be susceptible to it?” Speaking to OK!, Sian - who also co-hosts a show on Capital FM with Roman Kemp, admitted that her father no longer has any short term memory, which makes day-to-day life often very difficult.

Phillip Schofield was seen in high spirits during a day out with pals in London, amid reports that claim Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley will be named as the new This Morning hosts.

The lack of decision over who will be replacing Holly Willoughby on This Morning has reportedly left staff working on the show feeling rather uncertain about their future.Three months after Holly's exit, there is still no permanent presenting team in place, with the show instead being hosted by a rotation of famous faces, including Josie Gibson, Cat Deeley, and Emma Willis, with Sian Welby also recently enjoying a stint at the show.

After making her TV comeback on Dancing on Ice in January, Holly Willoughby is now said to be looking at her career options and America could be in the TV presenter's sights. Holly, 42, took a break from the spotlight after quitting This Morning in October, but she's since returned to screens on Dancing on Ice with new co-host Stephen Mulhern, 46, and the pair have already proven to be a hit with viewers.There's been many rumours about what could be next for Holly, from hosting new TV shows to signing a tell-all deal about former co-star Phillip Schofield, but it's now been claimed that launching a career in the US is something she's now very keen on. Holly has reportedly caught the attention of several companies in America and as she's now a "free agent", she could be ready to explore the possibilities stateside.
