As rumours spread about who will be the next star to join Holly, fans think they already know who it is.

Taking to social media, they're convinced Alison Hammond will be appointed to the role by show bosses.

One said: "Alison Hammond would be the best replacement for Schofield."

A second commented: "Holly will be much better on her own presenting with other members of the team! If it wasn’t for her and Alison Hammond people would have switched off a long time ago."

"Alison Hammond should take over This Morning, who's with me," said a third.

While a fourth said: "Alison and Holly would work so well together honestly."

Hammond, who usually appears on the ITV programme on Friday's alongside Dermot O'Leary - is now the bookies favourite to take over.

Alison, 48, is already being "lined up"; by her close pal Holly to take over the co-hosting job.

And now, the bookmakers are certain that it's Alison who will be taking over from Phil.

Ladbrokes have slashed the odds of Alison presenting alongside Holly to just 2/1, as they predict the formation of a "dynamic duo".

Jessica O'Reilly of Ladbrokes said: "It's looking like a serious case of when, not if Phillip is replaced on This Morning.

"Viewers could soon be watching Holly and Alison as the new dynamic duo."

Aside from Alison, her co-star Dermot, 49, is fancied at 4/1 in the betting, while Rylan Clark sits in second place at 3/1.
