Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's This Morning replacements confirmed

Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford have been confirmed as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's replacements on This Morning.

The nation's favourite presenting duo are going on a break for the summer, with today as their last day.

Eamonn and Ruth will be presenting the programme from Mondays to Thursdays, with guest presenters filling in on Fridays.

The guest presenters are yet to be confirmed, but it is likely that Rochelle and husband Marvin Humes may return to host.

However, there has been growing speculation that Holly and Phil, who have been hosting the show together since 2009, may not return in the autumn.

Editor Martin Frizell, who is credited with keeping 39-year-old Holly and 58-year-old Phil under control behind and in front of the camera, is reportedly set to quit the show.

"Phil and Holly actually listen to Martin. Who knows what they'd do if he left," a source told the Mail On Sunday.

But earlier this month, Phil addressed speculation that he was ditching ITV for BBC.

It was reported that the rival broadcaster had been attempting to lure him away from ITV with a multi-million pound offer when his contract ends in 2021.

But Phil has insisted that he isn't going anywhere soon.

A fan had tweeted him asking: "please please don't say that you and Holly are leaving this morning?"

Phillip replied: "Course not," followed by a crying with laughter emoji.

The pair usually return to the ITV daytime show in September when the six-week summer holiday ends.

*This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
