Now, five months on from the last episode, it's been rumoured that ITV executives want to bring back the show in Paul's honour - and because it's always been a huge hit with viewers.

Sarah Ferguson's dreams of a gig on This Morning have been shattered after ITV bosses have decided she won't be given a full time presenting role, which is also a blow to Prince Andrew.

Alison Hammond has reportedly “politely declined” the opportunity to front This Morning four times a week following the departure of main host Holly Willoughby, missing out on a 'huge pay rise'. The TV personality, who has presented on the ITV daytime show on and off since 2002, has become a regular on the show in recent years and became a familiar face when she started presenting Friday shows alongside Dermot O'Leary.

Mollie King is said to have missed out on the chance to replace Holly Willoughby as the main host of This Morning, after ITV bosses decided that she 'lacks experience'.

Following their departures, ITV have been relying on a rotating roster of presenters, including Josie Gibson, Rylan Clark, Alison Hammond, Dermot O'Leary and Craig Doyle.

Ruth Langsford has addressed claims that she could re-join This Morning, three years after she and husband Eamonn Holmes departed the show.
