Phillip Schofield has quit This Morning and bookmakers are in no doubt on who they think will replace him, with a clear favourite emerging to fill the vacancy.
Both Phillip and his long-serving co-host Holly Willoughby have been the subject of much speculation over the last few weeks, as rumours swirled that they'd had a 'falling out' behind the scenes, after years of being close away from the camera, as well as hosting This Morning and Dancing on Ice together.
Just days ago, bookies predicted that Phillip would leave This Morning by the end of the week and their forecast proved to be accurate, as, on Saturday afternoon Phillip announced he'd quit the ITV show, admitting that he was sad that 'This Morning has become the story,' but telling fans he'd be back to host The British Soap Awards next month.

As soon as Phillip broke the news, talk started on who will replace him and BettingSites.co.uk are sure Dermot O'Leary is the person for the job. Dermot has been hosting Friday editions of This Morning for over two years now, alongside Alison Hammond, as well as the duo regularly covering for Phillip and Holly when they take holidays.
He is the 4/5 favourite to replace Phillip, ahead of Rochelle Humes, with Joel Dommett, who made his This Morning hosting debut earlier this year, third favourite on 8/1.
Alison is in fourth, while others in contention include Rochelle's husband Marvin, Josie Gibson and Ruth Langsford and even her husband Eamonn Holmes, just days after he accused Phillip and Holly of 'faking' their friendship for TV.
As well as Phillip quitting This Morning, it has also been confirmed that Holly will take an earlier than unexpected break from the show and now won't be back until June 5.
