Phillip Schofield will no longer be hosting the British Soap Awards after admitting to having an affair with a younger ITV colleague, but who will replace him to present the glittering event?
The Masked Singer host Joel Dommett is at the top of the list of tipped hosts ready to replace Phillip, according to bookmakers William Hill.
He is now 2/1 with the bookmaker to be given the role at the awards, which are being held in Manchester on Saturday before later airing on ITV on June, 6.
Alan Carr at 3/1 and Bradley Walsh at 11/2 are next in line to take Phillip's place after ITV confirmed the ceremony was going ahead as planned despite last week’s dramatic events, writes The Mirror.
William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: “Following Phillip Schofield’s departure from ITV last week, we make Joel Dommett the favourite to host this year’s British Soap Awards in Manchester on Saturday.
“Dommett is the 2/1 frontrunner with us to be awarded hosting honours for Saturday’s ceremony having impressed in other ITV programmes throughout the years.
“Should the baton fall to someone else, Alan Carr (3/1) and Bradley Walsh (11/2) are the other most likely candidates in the betting to host in Schofield’s absence.”
Phillip has hosted the ceremony for 17 years, but last week he announced that he would be parting ways with ITV and therefore stepping down from the awards.
He confirmed in a statement to the Daily Mail: "I am painfully conscious that I have lied to my employers at ITV, to my colleagues and friends, to my agents, to the media and therefore the public and most importantly of all to my family. I am so very, very sorry, as I am for having been unfaithful to my wife.
"I have therefore decided to step down from the British Soap Awards,
