Dancing On Ice fans convinced they’ve worked out Philip Schofield’s replacement

DANCING On Ice fans think they’ve figured out who will be partnering Holly Willoughby when the show returns in January.

Long-running host Phillip Schofield has left a void at the hit ITV programme after the channel cut ties with him following his affair scandal with a This Morning colleague.

Now, telly viewers reckon Good Morning Britain stalwart Ben Shephard will get the gig.

Armchair sleuths have noticed Ben follows and is followed by Dancing On Ice on social media, and today he partnered Holly on This Morning as a guest host, prompting them to claim it was a screen test.

Speculating as to who will front the series with Holly, one simply wrote “Ben shepherd” followed by a preaching hands emoji.
