Rylan, 34, is currently leading the list of names at 3/1, with Davina, 55, leading closely behind at 4/1.
These two personalities are followed by Amanda Holden and Rochelle Humes who are both at 5/1, according to the bookies.

Regarding Davina, Alex added: “Davina is certainly no stranger to our screens, and with ITV snapping up Big Brother, there’s every chance its former host Holly’s morning gig.”
Other names on the bookies list include Alesha Dixon at 11/2, Laura Whitmore at 6/1, Nick Grimshaw at 13/1 and Maya Jama at 8/1.
Rylan and Davina are no strangers to the This Morning family as both of the stars have guest presented on the show on a number of occasions.
