This Morning announces new presenting shake up as Rochelle Humes steps aside

Can you guess who's replacing her?

The This Morning presenters will be given a bit of a shake up from tomorrow (August 5) after it was revealed Rochelle Humes will not be on Friday’s show.

Rochelle has been hosting the ITV daytime series since Monday (August 1) alongside Vernon Kay.

But she confirmed today (Thursday August 4) she will not be on the This Morning sofa with him tomorrow.

Relief presenters have been filling in for anchors Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby after they finished up for the summer a month ago.

They include Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, and Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle.

Josie will be on next week, too – and back alongside Craig.
