Tough:\u00a0It comes after Holly Willoughby left the show last month ‘for the sake of her family’ after discovering she was the target of a foiled kidnap and murder plot<\/p>\n
A source told the publication: ‘Cat is seasoned pro and execs have been keen to get her in for a while. She takes live TV in her stride and his really witty and personable with guests.<\/p>\n
‘She is comfortable interviewing both pop stars and politicians, so if it goes well she could be a much more permanent solution to Holly leaving. Cat would be safe captain to steady the ship.<\/p>\n
‘Rylan was a resounding success too so fans can expect to see a lot more of him in the future.’<\/p>\n
ITV and Cat’s reps have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bookies’ new favourite to be one-half of This Morning’s presenting team was revealed last Thursday as fans praised their presenting skills.<\/p>\n
William Hill has announced that Rylan, 35, has 5\/4 odds to take over from Phillip\u00a0and more recently Holly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Exit: Holly’s exit came five months after Philip Schofield’s departure after his affair with a young male showrunner was made public<\/p>\n
Rylan is currently a rotating presenter from Monday to Thursday alongside Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle,\u00a0Rochelle Humes, and Ben Shepherd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, the duo being permanent seems unlikely as\u00a0Josie has just 50\/1 odds of replacing Holly.<\/p>\n
The favourite to replace Holly is Loose Women’s Christine Lampard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
William Hill also revealed the four people that are close on Rylan’s heels to replace Philip Schofield. Leading the pack is Dermot O’Leary.<\/p>\n
Dermot, 50, is best known for his former presenting role on The X Factor. He currently co-presents This Morning with Alison Hammond, 48, and bookies say he has a 3\/1 chance of continuing the role permanently.<\/p>\n
The father-of-one has been linked to This Morning since 2014 when he served as a stand-in for Schofield.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dermot admitted in September that the audience could pick up on the awkwardness between himself and Alison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said: ‘The presenters make a difference … if two people aren\u2019t getting on, the viewers can see that.’<\/p>\n
‘Alison Hammond, my co-host, and I didn\u2019t really know each other when we started working together but now we\u2019re like family. I think there\u2019s an honesty to that.’<\/p>\n
An insider co-signed this, saying: ‘Alison and Dermot got off to a tricky start, they had very different levels of experience and came from totally different places but they then did start to rub along quite nicely.’<\/p>\n
Marvin, 38, a member of boyband JLS, the runners-up of the fifth series of X Factor in 2008.<\/p>\n
He has previously presented This Morning during the summer holidays with his wife Rochelle.<\/p>\n
William Hill says he has 3\/1 odds for taking over the top spot, meanwhile Rochelle Humes, 34, who previously held 10\/1 odds for replacing Holly.<\/p>\n
The couple are currently the co-hosts of the popular BBC Saturday night gameshow The Hit List.<\/p>\n
Separately, Rochelle regularly co-presented the family favourite Ninja Warrior UK, which returns for season 5 next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marvin and Rochelle are a hit with viewers who can relate to their busy household – the couple shares daughters Alaia-Mai, 10, and Valentina, 6, and son Blake, three, together.<\/p>\n
They are the favourites to take over from Willoughby and Schofield as the hosts for Dancing On Ice in 2024, should Holly leave.<\/p>\n
Though best-known for his presenting, Stephen, 46, is also a magician.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He began his career presenting various children’s television programmes on CITV with magical themes, and some without.<\/p>\n
Stephen transitioned into mainstream television with Dancing On Ice: Defrosted from 2006 to 2007.<\/p>\n
He began rapidly gaining popularity in 2007 when he became the presenter of Britain’s Got More Talent, a sister show to Britain’s Got Talent for acts that didn’t make it into the main show.<\/p>\n
The presenter stayed in this role until 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stephen officially became a household name when he began presenting hit gameshow Catchphrase from its 2013 revival until present.<\/p>\n
He was a guest presenter on This Morning from 2012 to 2013.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Could it be him? Dermot O’Leary, 50,\u00a0 has 3\/1 odds of replacing Holly and Phil, according to William Hill<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Decades of experience: Stephen has a 10\/1 chance of replacing Phil on This Morning – having already replaced him on Dancing On Ice<\/p>\n
Stephen is also the favourite to take over from Schofield\u00a0as the host of Dancing On Ice in 2024, should Holly choose to stay on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Richard Madeley has 14\/1 of replacing Schofield, says William Hill.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is no surprise that Richard, 67, is on this list, given he presented the show when it began in 1988, alongside wife Judy, 75.<\/p>\n
The couple left the show in 2001 to host their own, Richard & Judy, which ran on Channel 4 until 2009.<\/p>\n
