This Morning could be set for a shake-up of its presenters, it’s been claimed, as ITV has been tipped to sign Sian Welby up as a permanent presenter by the end of the year.
Sian, 37, joined the This Morning family as a contributor host last year. She is hosting the show alongside Craig Doyle this week as Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard enjoy the final days of their summer break.
But leading bookmakers Coral now predict Sian could take the main job by the end of next year.
Sian Welby to become main This Morning host, bookies predict
Coral’s PR manager John Hill told The Sun: “Sian Welby continues to make a positive impression on This Morning, and as a result of strong support in our betting, we make her odds-on to be a permanent presenter on the ITV show by the end of 2025.”
The bookies currently have Sian at odds of 1/2 to be hired as the show’s main presenter.
It was reported back in February that ITV bosses were keen to book Sian to replace Holly Willoughby. Holly quit the show last October after a terrifying kidnap and murder plot was uncovered by police.
However, Sian does have a controversial past. At the start of the year, Sian’s comments about a business that featured on Dragons’ Den were referred to Ofcom by numerous irate fans.
