 ITV has reportedly found a replacement for Phillip Schofield on Dancing On Ice. The former This Morning presenter, 61, had presented the competition series since 2006 predominantly alongside Holly Willoughby, 42, until he quit all his projects after confessing to lying about an affair with a runner. Speculation has since been mounting about who could fill the former TV star's shoes, with some fans theorising stars such as Jane McDonald could be doing the honours. Now, however, it has been claimed that the Loose Women broadcaster has settled on a presenter – and officially offered him a contract. According to reports, the host in question is Stephen Mulhern, 46, who is said to be mulling over the offer. An insider told The Mirror: 'Stephen is the perfect choice. Not only does he get on brilliantly with Holly, he is relaxed and fun which sits well with a show like Dancing on Ice.'

It would not be the first time Stephen has presented alongside Holly, having both hosted kids' TV show Saturday Showdown. The Wylde Moon star also regularly featured on his magic show Tricky TV to assist with his tricks. Stephen also has links to Dancing On Ice as he formerly presented its ITV2 spinoff show, Defrotested, from 2006 until 2007.
