With summer stand-in presenters fighting to impress ITV bosses, what does the future hold for Cat Deeley?
This Morning BUST-UP!

Following the dramatic exits of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, those high up at ITV took their time finding a duo that could fill their shoes and front This Morning.

In March, Cat Deeley, 47, and Ben Shephard, 49, took the helm in a big rebrand that bosses hoped would save the show. But due to dwindling viewers and fan complaints about Cat, a source tells Woman's Own, ITV are disappointed that Cat has not connected with viewers - especially regarding how much money they've had to pump into the show.' And with Friday host Alison Hammond and relief presenters Josie Gibson, Sian Welby and Rochelle Humes stepping in over the summer, our source adds that they wouldn't be surprised if they were keen to try and bag the main gig, telling us, 'Rochelle and Josie will definitely be wanting to impress bosses over the summer."

So could we see a big change at This Morning after the summer holidays?
