Phillips wants Osbourne for 'GMTV'

Fiona Phillips has suggested that Kelly Osbourne or Lily Allen should replace her on GMTV.

Phillips, 47, said ITV should hire someone young to take her place on the breakfast show.

She told Hello!: "I hear that Kelly Osbourne has been given odds of 50 to one. I’d certainly like to see her. Or maybe Lily Allen? They could install a crate of champagne in the green room and let her loose!"

Phillips then made a barbed reference to co-worker Kate Garraway, 41, who is reported to be interested in the job.

She said: "They don’t need some knackered old warhorse - not wishing to do down my 40-something female colleagues."

Phillips will front her final episode of the programme in December.
