That's not quite true, well according to Amanda anyway. ITV had already told her she was getting the job so she cleared her diary in anticipation. Then they withdrew the offer at the last minute. They told her over lunch and apparently let slip that Phillip influenced the decision.

I think the story there was one of entitlement from Amanda. Christine Lampard arguably had as much of a claim to stand in but didn't kick up a fuss. Rochelle was more about looking forward, plus she was on the payroll too.

Oh I can well believe that. In fact in the book he says ITV wanted someone else (thought to be Emma Forbes) to replace Fern as they felt Holly lacked gravitas, and he basically said he would leave if Holly didn't get the job.
Going by what he says in the book (I don't want to ruin it too much for those that haven't read it) it seems a former Page 3 girl might have been in the pecking order, if it wasn't for a slightly nerve-racking start on their trial show filling in for Fern one day.

Christine had just given birth, so wasn't in the running. She'd probably have been the choice if she was available.

It's Dermot and Alison on Friday.
It's also the episode she is editing, which she claims will be Coronavirus and Lockdown free.
Richard and Judy are back as guests on Thursday. But it’s unclear who will be filling in for Eamonn and Ruth on Friday this week. I’m assuming it won’t be them if they’re on as guests the day before.
It’s been a year since they first filled in on the October half term Friday last year.

Full of her being stupid and nonsense items no doubt.

Or it'll be This Morning pre-lockdown.

Well, something needs to be!
Good on them if so for providing people with some much-needed escapism.
Too much doom and gloom and bad news everywhere you look.
People need stuff like this.
Good on her!
