This Morning fans hail ‘dream duo’ as Emma Willis and Rylan confirmed as presenters for ALL of next week

Could Emma 'save' the show?

| Updated:

In latest This Morning news, Emma Willis will return as co-host for the ITV daytime series alongside Rylan next week.

The former Big Brother presenting pair are the latest names to front the programme following the departures of longtime anchors Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

Earlier this month Rylan sat on the This Morning sofa with Cat Deeley as she impressed in the role.

But now The Voice’s Emma is getting a crack at winning over viewers herself – and will be on Monday to Friday.

That means, according to The Sun, Emma will also be on hand for when Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary’s usually appear on Fridays.

Since 2012, Emma has made guest appearances on the show as a fill-in presenter when either Holly or Ruth Langsford weren’t available.

She also presented with Rylan during a one-off showing on This Morning in 2018. They have also worked together previously on Channel 5 versions of Big Brother.

Additionally, they also trekked the Scottish Highlands for Comic Relief earlier this year.
