A surprise new favourite has emerged as Holly’s replacement on This Morning, according to the bookies.

The bookies currently have the star at 2/1 to replace Holly on the show!

A spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “There’s certainly a storm brewing in the betting to be the next This Morning host, with Storm Huntley a notable market mover in recent days.
