Heart were saying it was Mark Little aka Joe Mangel, but take that with a pinch of salt, I also thought it might be Cat.

List of candidates. They've actually already decided who got the job, it's just not been revealed who yet.

Jeremy Kyle, Bradley Walsh and Vernon Kay have been mentioned by who...? Very Happy

Yeah, Bradley likely wouldn't even be available, due to Doctor Who. Even if they aren't already filming series 12 by then, there's still promotional work for series 11, which would be airing at that point.

That is a new gender pay scandal in the making then.

Good thing there's no Text Santa in between!

The other industry way of getting hired, nepotism.


Or being represented by James Grant.

I suppose if they went for a more interesting choice then ITV would've risked viewers liking it so much, they might not want Ant to come back. Watching a bit of Julia Morris, I warmed to her very quickly. If she got too comfortable in the role, people might not want to see her go.

It might be something where guest co-hosts work best. Less of a commitment and nobody directly replacing Ant. Holly, Julia and Cat doing a week each would probably be preferable to any of them doing the full run.

They’ve basically confirmed that it’s gonna be Holly though? I understand where you’re coming from but I think they’ve done well choosing a well known ITV personality, who has no intention of replacing Ant permanently. If they put a new personality on like Julia Morris, there would be a great possibility that the public might like her more than Ant, leaving the producers in a difficult position come the 2019 series.

I'd be all for Julia hosting ITV2 coverage with Joel Dommett and a return of the 'get me out of here now' branding.

Another over-exposed ITV face getting even more exposure. Yawn. At least it wasn't Mr Shouty I suppose...

I disagree, I'm glad she's doing it, a really good stand-in. She's very well known, just like Ant, and her friendship with the duo will probably help it to seem a bit more natural.

Of all of the other potential replacements that were suggested, like Emma Willis, Scarlett Moffatt and Stephen Mulhern, I think Holly will work best.

Does thus mean there might put Phil into the jungle this year.

Probably not, someone needs to be here to present This Morning.

I’m happy for Holly, she’s not attempting to replace anyone, just fill in whilst Ant recovers from his rehab stint.
