<\/p>\nA previous winner of Dancing on Ice thinks that he would be the perfect co-host for Holly Willoughby. <\/p>\n
Phillip Schofield, 61, previously stepped down from all of his roles at ITV after he admitted that he had lied over a consensual affair with a younger colleague at This Morning. <\/p>\n
This now leaves Holly, 42, without a co-host as bosses search for Phillip's replacement on the primetime skating programme<\/p>\n

Now former Capital Breakfast presenter Sonny Jay, 30, has weighed in, hinting that he would be the perfect choice to replace the star.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The radio personality previously won the ice dancing show in 2021 alongside his partner, professional skater Angela Egan.<\/p>\n
But in a new interview with Digital Spy, it seems he is firmly throwing his hat into the ring to host the show. <\/p>\n
When asked who he thought might replace Phillip, he joked: "I think you're looking at the guy."<\/p>\n
"I mean, it makes sense being on the show, you know?" he added.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
However, he went on to add it was "more than likely" that Stephen Mulhern will go on to take over the reins of the show.<\/p>\n
"Listen, I think it was Stephen Mulhern who stepped in a couple of times," he declared. "Stephen Mulhern gets everything, so it's more than likely going to go to him."<\/p>\n
This comes after it was reported in August that Stephen Mulhurn was reportedly set to replacePhillip Schofield as the new presenter of Dancing on Ice. <\/p>\n
The 46-year-old has allegedly been offered the huge gig and is planning on accepting, reports The Mirror. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It is believed that Stephen, who was confirmed as the host of the rebooted Deal or No Deal, is expected to be announced as the new presenter.<\/p>\n
The Catchphrase star already has experience on the skating competition as he stepped in for Phillip, 61, last February after he contracted Covid.<\/p>\n
The ITV star was an immediate hit with fans and has been one of the favourites to replace Phillip following his affair scandal. <\/p>\n
An insider told The Mirror: \u201cStephen is the perfect choice. Not only does he get on brilliantly with Holly, he is relaxed and fun which sits well with a show like Dancing on Ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Others tipped for the gig are This Morning favourite Dermot O\u2019Leary as well as Jane McDonald, who stood in for the TV presenter at the British Soap Awards in June. <\/p>\n
ITV said in a statement to Daily Star: "We will be confirming details about Dancing on Ice 2024 in due course".<\/p>\n
