Rylan Clark is reportedly returning to This Morning after a year away from the show.

According to The Sun, the presenter is coming back to host alongside Josie Gibson next week.

The 35-year-old hasn’t been seen on the This Morning sofa since August 2022, where he hosted with former co-star Ruth Langsford.

According to the publication, a source revealed: “Rylan is already part of the This Morning family and an absolute presenting professional.

“He has experience both on the sofa and fronting his own telly shows so the audience are safe in his hands.

“He is excited about coming back into the fold and bosses are keen to see how viewers respond to him and his chemistry with Josie with the view to getting him back in again in the near future.”

Ever since Phillip Schofield left the show after admitting to having an affair with a younger male colleague, Holly Willoughby was presenting with a mix of hosts on rotation.

Earlier this month, Holly also announced her departure from the daytime show.

Many stars have been rumoured to be joining the show as the new main presenter, but so far nobody has been confirmed.

The bookies have already mentioned Rylan Clark as well as Davina McCall, who are both apparently in the running to get a coveted seat on the This Morning sofa.

Rylan is currently leading the list of names at 3/1, with Davina, 55, leading closely behind at 4/1.

These two personalities are followed by Amanda Holden and Rochelle Humes who are both at 5/1, according to the bookies.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Rylan is unquestionably a fan favourite, and the latest odds suggest a full-time gig on Britain’s most famous sofa could be on the cards for him.”

Regarding Davina, Alex added: “Davina is certainly no stranger to our screens, and with ITV snapping up Big Brother, there’s every chance its former host Holly’s morning gig.”

Other names on the bookies list include Alesha Dixon at 11/2, Laura Whitmore at 6/1, Nick Grimshaw at 13/1 and Maya Jama at 8/1.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
