An ITV source said: ‘Angela’s name was raised and actually she would be a great replacement for Holly. She ticks all of the boxes, and has a wealth of experience.<\/p>\n
‘Plus, she would come off of the Strictly high.’<\/p>\n
Former journalist Ms Scanlon, 39, is amongst the favourites to reach the Strictly final later this year and currently presents Your Home Made Perfect on BBC Two.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ITV bosses have decided to hold live auditions to find the perfect star to replace Holly Willoughby on the This Morning sofa in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
With presenter Josie Gibson, 38, who hosts two or three times a week, going to Australia to appear on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, executives are using the opportunity to audition for another to take over when the programme is relaunched in the new year.<\/p>\n
Sources at the network say that they will ‘test the chemistry and likeability’ of a number of potential anchors.<\/p>\n
They also say that they are primarily looking for a woman as they hope to still sign Ben Shephard, 48, to take over Phillip Schofield’s role in January. They had originally planned to pair him with Ms Willoughby.<\/p>\n
