Holly Willoughby to be new This Morning host

[JOSHUAH!]

On Phillip's website:

At 2.30pm today the deal was done and Holly became my new This Morning partner. Perfectly timed, as I was having my photo taken for the opening titles for the new series, which starts in September. Holly immediately jumped in to a car and came to the This Morning studios where we all had a couple of bottles of bubbly waiting for her arrival.

Everyone adores Fern and will miss her enormously but Holly Willoughby was at the top of everybody’s list to pick up where Fern leaves off. She filled in for Fern a few months ago and from that moment on everybody knew she was the obvious number one choice. This Morning is a very close-knit family not only in the studio but the audience as well and for that reason, Holly is perfect.



I wish her the best of luck but clearly its not what you know, its who you know. I don't think she will be as journalistically inclined especially whilst interviewing somebody on a hard subject.

What do you all think?

I like Holly, I wanted her to be Fern's replacement.

No surprise really. I think she'll do a good job.

She'll be great no doubt. I guess that pretty much cements her non return to the Xtra Factor :(
