ITV announces This Morning presenters for first show after Phil affair bombshell
ITV have confirmed who will be hosting This Morning tomorrow, after Phillip Schofield’s affair confession.
The future of the iconic daytime show is up in the air as ITV bosses come under fire over accusations they bodged a probe into the veteran presenter's past behaviour.
But ITV have confirmed the show will return tomorrow in its usual slot, and it will be fronted by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
Alison and Dermot are currently presenting the daytime show together while Holly, 42, and Schofield were already scheduled for a break during half-term.
They used to just do Fridays together - which fans loved.
Schofield, 61, was forced out of the show he'd been presenting for 21 years over a growing feud with pal and co-star Holly Willoughby.

His departure was also fuelled by his brother Tim being outed as a peado.
Just six days later, he made a bombshell revelation about a "consensual on-off relationship" with a teen colleague - leaving him no choice but to quit ITV altogether.
In a series of scathing statements, the television network said no one employed on the daytime show knew of the affair as Schofield "lied" to everyone.
ITV launched a probe into the fling back in 2020 which saw the former TV presenter and the much younger male deny anything was going on.

The Sun on Sunday today revealed one household name on the show has drafted a resignation statement.
Now, a number of presenters could be in the running to fill Schofield's spot.
It comes as This Morning execs fear an exodus is on the horizon.
A source said: “The future of the show is hanging by a thread and the presenting talent are unsure of their next move - they’re deciding whether to leap from a sinking ship.
“The whole This Morning senior team is in complete damage-limitation mode worrying about the presenters who might walk away.";
