Last week Fern Britton announced that she was leaving This Morning after ten years as part of the iconic ITV daytime fixture. The hunt is now on to find Phil 'The Schofe' Schofield a new partner-in-crime, so to help speed up the process, DS has compiled a rag-tag list of potential replacements for the bubbly TV host.

The Early Favourite: Holly Willoughby
When news came in that Fern was calling it a day, Holly and her impressive range of low cut dresses immediately sprang to our minds. On the negative side, she's heavily pregnant with her first child and considerably younger in years than silver fox Phil (and most of This Morning's viewers). On the plus side, she has a certain chemistry with Schofe on Dancing On Ice and would probably double the male audience demographic.

The Blast From The Past: Emma Forbes
We called for Forbes to be handed a TV comeback earlier this year, naming her a DS Icon. So what better opportunity to get the exuberant Head & Shoulders model back on the box than with her old Talking Telephone Numbers buddy? With her Live & Kicking experience, she's already proved to be a safe pair of hands when it comes to live TV and versatile broadcasting.

The Dream Team: Gordon The Gopher, Trevor & Simon, Sarah Greene
The iconic glove puppet was cruelly removed from the Broom Cupboard by Andy Crane and Edd The Duck and ditched by the Beeb after Going Live! was axed. Last we heard Gordon had taken to the bottle and was skint. It seems only right, therefore, that 15 years on the furry comic sidekick should be reunited with his old pal Phil. While we're at it, we reckon Sarah Greene and comedy duo Trevor & Simon should get in on the act too and complete a full Going Live! revival!

Let's Hope Not: Myleene Klass
A failed popstar and a runner-up on bug-eating reality show nonsense I'm A Celebrity, Myleene Klass has somehow managed to forge a successful career in recent years, popping up on every radio show, entertainment programme and TV channel imaginable. Her fixed grin has appeared on 10 Years Younger, Miss Naked Beauty, CD:UK, Last Choir Standing, The One Show and millions of M&S lingerie ads around the nation. It would be sad, but not a surprise, if This Morning was next on Klass's hit list.
