This Morning have lined up two new replacements for Holly Willoughby following the news that she had caught coronavirus.

The presenter was replaced by Josie Gibson for Monday's show after being forced to miss the Dancing On Ice semi-final on Sunday night.

She tested positive for Covid just hours before she was due to appear live on the skating programme.

As reported by The Sun, ITV have now signed up Alison Hammond and Rochelle Humes to stand-in for Holly until she has recovered.

A source said: "Holly will be missed this week but Rochelle, Alison and Josie are more than capable of stepping in and holding the fort until Holly's back."
