Now onto the speculation as to who will replace him… This might be controversial but I think Stephen Mulhern would be a safe pair of hands to work with Holly. Especially after the pair spent so long together back in the days of CITV. They have genuine chemistry and he is very experienced for working on live TV programmes. I know the most obvious thing to do would be to move Dermot into Phil’s spot but I’m still not quite sure he’s right for the programme even when he’s with Alison.

I'm surprised Steve Wilson hasn't ever taken a lead role on the show considering he used to Live & Kicking/CBBC back in the day, and also did a series with Holly called Feel the Fear.
