Amanda Holden Considered to Replace Cat Deeley

Amanda Holden is being considered as a potential replacement for Cat Deeley on 'This Morning' due to reports that viewers have not warmed to Deeley since she took over in March, with ratings reportedly falling below 700,000 for one episode. Deeley, who co-hosts with Ben Shephard, has downplayed the ratings drop, stating she hadn't thought much about it. The duo replaced Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, who left following Schofield's involvement in a controversial affair. Despite ITV's claims of strong viewer engagement, scrutiny has persisted regarding Deeley and Shephard's performance. Holden, familiar with the show from her previous stints, reportedly faced challenges in securing a presenting role due to a preference from Schofield for Rochelle Humes over her. The ongoing situation has sparked discussions about Holden's potential return to the show.
