Oh, I missed this news. Agree with most the comments here that the circumstances that have led to it are devastating, but obviously it's a culmination of everything.

Did always feel like they avoided appointing a direct replacement for Phil just in case Holly did subsequently leave - they didn't want to give Craig the job given should Holly leave promoting Alison and Dermot to the front of the week is the obvious option, with Craig and Josie then taking on their role. The trouble is I don't think Dermot especially seems to want to go full time, but a 3/2 split might work best.

I suspect though they'll continue with random presenter combinations for now before settling on a more permanent arrangement - probably in 2026 given how TV seems to work now.


Must say though amongst the awful news last week it was nice to read that Phil had reached out to Holly and they had somewhat reconciled.
