PHILLIP Schofield will be replaced by ITV co-star Stephen Mulhern on Dancing on Ice this weekend, according to reports. The 59-year-old star tested positive for Covid on Monday night and has been unable to present This Morning.
Now it has been reported that Stephen, famous for appearing on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and In For A Penny, has been invited to take his place.
An insider told the Mirror: "While Phil is off recovering, Stephen was delighted to be asked to step in to fill his shoes and present alongside Holly. "He gets on with everyone so bosses are more than happy for him to step up. "Everyone's wishing Phil a quick recovery and hoping to see him back in his rightful place later this month." Dancing on Ice have not confirmed the reports.
The Sun has contacted ITV. Phillip has regularly posted from his home, where he has his own voice recording studio so he can continue to work.
