Former children's TV presenter Holly Willoughby has been confirmed as the new co-host of ITV1's This Morning.
She will take over from Fern Britton, who leaves the flagship daytime show later this week.
Phillip Schofield, who worked with Willoughby on Dancing with Ice, said she was "at the top of everybody's list to pick up where Fern leaves off".
Willoughby said in a statement that This Morning had "always been the ultimate dream job for me".
"To spend my days sat next to Phil on the sofa just makes it that bit extra special," she added.
"Now I just can't wait for it all to start." |
