Emily Atack announced as This Morning host while Holly Willoughby takes a break

Emily Atack is set to star on This Morning next week - as Holly Willoughby goes on her Easter Holidays.

Former Inbetweeners star Emily will be joined by her friend and I'm a Celeb campmate John Barrowman to co-host the show.

Emily won the hearts of the nation with her antics on I'm a Celeb and producers are hoping that she will similarly impress viewers on This Morning.
