Staff at "This Morning" are reportedly frustrated and livid over the lack of confirmation regarding replacements for Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield.
While temporary hosts like Josie Gibson, Dermot O'Leary, and Alison Hammond have filled in, a permanent host for the ITV daytime program remains unannounced, leaving many in limbo. Insiders reveal widespread frustration among staff members who are eager to know the next team on the sofa and when they will be working.
Holly Willoughby bid farewell to the show in October after 14 years, expressing gratitude to everyone involved. The absence of a confirmed replacement has left staff members in anticipation and frustration. The uncertainty extends to stylists and makeup artists who are keen to know when they'll be working, given their association with specific presenters.
Philip Schofield resigned from ITV after admitting to an unwise but not illegal affair, leading to his exit from the spotlight. Rumors suggest he might participate in Celebrity Big Brother this March. Meanwhile, radio presenter Cion has emerged as a favorite for the permanent hosting role. The 37-year-old, known for co-hosting the Capital Breakfast show, has impressed everyone at ITV and is considered a breath of fresh air. Executives believe she has star potential and could follow in the footsteps of Holly Willoughby.
As speculations continue, staff members eagerly await an official announcement on the new hosts for "This Morning." The behind-the-scenes discussions about potential replacements contribute to the ongoing buzz surrounding the popular daytime show.
