This Morning hosts Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes will reportedly be offered their own show by BBC bosses.
Earlier this month, reports claimed ITV dropped the husband and wife duo from their weekly Friday slot on the daytime show.
According to the claims, Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary will replace the pair.

“They can easily carry any number of shows, so producers at the Beeb are considering handing them a format to front.”

Meanwhile, it comes after Dermot broke his silence on the reports he’s replacing the pair on This Morning.
In an interview with Ireland AM on Thursday, Dermot insisted nothing’s confirmed.
He added: “But you know, we enjoyed doing the summer, so we’d like to do more.
“But at the same time, you don’t want to tread on anyone’s toes or treat anyone badly.
“So you’re always sort of caught between a rock and a hard place on that sort of stuff.”
Ruth and Eamonn ‘axed’ from This Morning?
Ruth and Eamonn usually front Friday’s edition of the show.
Alison and Dermot often host odds programmes over the summer and half-term breaks.

“It’s a blow to fans, who love their chemistry on screen, and eagerly tune in to watch them every Friday.”
