Rumour has it that Storm Huntley may be the one to take Holly Willoughby's place on the This Morning sofa. This news comes after Holly announced earlier this month that she was resigning from the ITV daytime show after 14 years.
Viewers have been speculating on who will fill her shoes, with the likes of Josie Gibson and Alison Hammond taking up extra presenting slots alongside Dermot O’Leary and Craig Doyle. With Ben Shephard reportedly taking over from Phillip Schofield, could he and Channel 5 star Storm make for our new daytime duo?
Storm is best known for co-presenting on Jeremy Vine, where she joined the show in 2018 when it replaced The Wright Stuff. Since 2015, she's also worked on the seasonal CBeebies show 'Down on the Farm', which was nominated for a Bafta Scotland Award in 2016. Similarly, her rumoured predecessor Holly also started out in children’s TV, having hosted on CBBC herself back in the 2000s.
On the daily live morning phone-in debate show Jeremy Vine, Storm is a co-host who introduces callers to the presenter. She also reads out viewer messages and has her own solo slot from 11:15am until 12:40pm, discussing the topics of the day.
When it comes to her personal life, the star is married to Kerr Okan, who is the lead singer of the rock band The LaFontaines. They wed in September 2021 on the banks of Loch Lomond in Scotland, with fellow television presenter Carol Smillie as the officiating registrar. Following their nuptials, Storm announced on Jeremy Vine that her professional name would now just be 'Storm'. They have a son, Otis, who was born in July 2022.
At the moment, no confirmed decision has been made about new This Morning hosts. However, rumours persist following a turbulent year for the award-winning daytime show. While Storm hasn’t exactly confirmed that she’s in the running, she also didn’t say no when asked. Taking to Instagram to address the headlines, she wrote: “Very flattering but I think there may be a scheduling issue there.”
Fans are still awaiting an official announcement on both Holly and Phillip’s replacements. Who would you like to see replace Holly on This Morning?
