This Morning bosses have unveiled three new guest stars who will be fronting the flagship ITV show.
Christine Lampard, Mollie King, and Lisa Snowdon will all join Dermot O’Leary this week. Christine, 44, will host the show on Monday, while 36-year-old Mollie will take Tuesday and Wednesday, with Lisa appearing on Thursday and Friday, reports The Mirror.
Executives snapped up the trio while Alison Hammond takes a break to appear in a pantomime. It comes amid increasing speculation over who could permanently replace Holly Willoughby.
All of the new guest stars have previously fronted This Morning. A Source told The Mirror: “It gives us a great opportunity to mix things up and see what lands well and resonates with the viewers.”

Bosses are not expected to announce a new permanent line-up before the New Year. Other stars who have fronted the flagship show in recent weeks include Emma Willis and Rylan Clark.
They appeared popular but it appears execs will not make them the permanent presenters. Presenting line-ups in recent weeks have also included Rochelle Humes, 34, Craig Doyle, 52, Josie Gibson, 38, and Cat Deeley, 47.
A source said: “There is a wealth of talent available and no shortage of takers, given it is one of the most sought-after spots in television.”
This year the show saw not only the departure of Holly but Philip Schofield. Phillip, 61, quit after admitting he had an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with a younger male colleague.

Holly meanwhile quit the show five months later, on October 10, saying it had been an “honour just to be part of its story” but it was a call she had to make for herself and her family. Last week an inquiry found there was no evidence of a toxic culture at This Morning.
Mirror sources said there is now a bouyant mood on the show.
