Given this news potentially implicates This Morning and the people involved with it, this seems to be a much worse crisis for the show to handle compared to the John Leslie incident 21 years ago.

I'm sure the show can survive it, but it's going to need a huge kick up the proverbial to relaunch itself and remove every aspect of its controversial past. It's also unclear if Holly can survive this, especially if she was implicit in the knowledge of it going on. Given how good friends they used to be and she was involved in the 'Coming Out' feature 3 years ago, it seems possible she may have been aware on why it was being done. But of course we should assume there was no knowledge of this at this stage.

Safe to say there will be a relaunch coming in September, whether it's of This Morning or a brand new show.

A brand new show would not be ready until at least January.

Allison Hammond has also been on the show for nearly twenty years so her becoming the main female host wouldn’t be a new start either really.
