Holly Willoughby, the longstanding host of This Morning, has made the shocking decision to quit the show after 14 years. This comes after an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her was uncovered. Willoughby took to Instagram to confirm her departure and cited the safety and well-being of herself and her family as the reasons for her decision. The alleged plot involved a former Pizza Hut worker who has been charged and remanded in custody.
The exit of Willoughby from the show follows her former co-presenter, Phillip Schofield, who left earlier this year after admitting to an affair. Insiders have revealed that Willoughby felt the show was never the same after Schofield’s departure and that the alleged plot was the final straw for her.
With This Morning set to relaunch in January, there is now speculation about who will replace Willoughby. One of the frontrunners is Ben Shephard from Good Morning Britain, who has been a favorite to join the show when it returns. Shephard has experience as a stand-in presenter on This Morning and has recently been addressing rumors about taking over as a permanent replacement for Schofield.
Another potential replacement is Alison Hammond, who has emerged as a fan favorite since joining the show as a showbiz reporter. Hammond has hosted various shows alongside Willoughby and has proven to be popular with audiences. Josie Gibson, a former Big Brother contestant, has also been tipped as a potential replacement, along with Rochelle Humes, a singer and presenter who regularly appears on This Morning. Lisa Snowdon, a fashion model and presenter, has also been mentioned as a candidate.
It remains to be seen who will ultimately take over from Willoughby, but the show is sure to have big shoes to fill in January.
