Ladies and gents with a penchant for eye candy, we may finally have something to thank This Morning for.
The daytime magazine show lost its male anchor Phillip Schofield in a blaze of scandal and publicity back in May.
In case you’ve forgotten, it emerged that he’d had an ‘inappropriate but not illegal’ affair with a young runner.
And Schofe left the show, before getting the boot from ITV full-stop.

He let Holly down, he let ITV down, he let himself down, but most of all he let you down. (Are you okay?)
Since then we’ve had dad sock Dermot O’Leary and puppy dog Craig Doyle providing most of the show’s testosterone.
It’s Steve Jones, y’all
But the studio is set to warm up with a proper injection of lust magnet this week as bosses have reportedly signed up <drum roll> Steve Jones.

That’s right, the almost illegally hot former host of T4 from Channel 4 back in the noughties, who got the nation’s now 40-something females (and gays) through Sunday morning hangovers from hell and one-night stand regrets.

The Welsh hottie will be joining Josie Gibson on the show this coming Wednesday (August 16). Which means the aforementioned 40-something females – hopefully now free of hangovers and one-night stand regrets – will enjoy a well-deserved mid-week feast for the eyes.
And while ITV bosses congratulate themselves for this, they are also hoping that he’ll join Holly Willoughby as a regular co-presenter.
New This Morning line-up
“The hope is that those watching at home will love Steve, he’s a very experienced broadcaster but also very cheeky,” a ‘source’ told Mail Online.
“There is no permanent replacement for Phil, Holly will be presenting with Alison, Josie, Dermot and Craig, and now probably Steve.”
