This Morning have revealed who will present the show tomorrow following Phillip Schofield's departure.
On Saturday Phil dramatically announced that he would be leaving the show after more than 20 years on screen. Phil said he had already presented his last show after a "difficult week" where rumours of a feud between him and Holly Willoughby reached fever pitch.
Holly will stay on the ITV show and for now will co-host with other members of the This Morning family, but for the next few weeks she too will be missing from screen.

The 42-year-old will be off air for two weeks as she takes an early half term break. Holly will be replaced by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary for the next week - reports OK.
Alison and Dermot have become fan favourites among viewers after joining the show in 2021, following the departure of Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.
Alison and Dermot are both yet to address their co-star's departure.
In his statement announcing his departure yesterday Phil said: "I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning. But recently, This Morning itself has become the story.
“Throughout my career in TV – including the very difficult last few days – I have always done my best to be honourable and kind. I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on, and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love.
“So I have agreed to step down from This Morning with immediate effect, in the hope that the show can move forward to a bright future. I’d like to thank everyone who has supported me – especially This Morning’s amazing viewers – and I’ll see you all for the Soap Awards next month.”
Holly Willoughby said: “It’s been over 13 great years presenting This Morning with Phil and I want to take this opportunity to thank him for all of his knowledge, his experience and his humour. The sofa won’t feel the same without him.”
Kevin Lygo, ITV’s Managing Director, Media and Entertainment said: “Phillip is hands down one of the best broadcasters of his generation and we thank him for his two decades worth of absolutely terrific television on the This Morning sofa.
“This Morning is made by one of the best and most diligent teams in television, who produce over 12 hours of live television each week.”
“We look forward to continuing our relationship with Phillip starting with The British Soap Awards in June and a brand new peak time series to come.”
