‘I am eternally grateful for all your love and support and I can not thank you enough.’

Josie left fans fearing for her future on the show as she wrote on social media on Wednesday: ‘My last day with @dermotoleary tomorrow before @alisonhammond55 returns Friday.

‘Then @sianwelby takes the @thismorning reins next week.

‘What an amazing group of ladies to share the sofa with!!!!! @dermotoleary thank you for being my rock this week.’

It comes after it was revealed that This Morning’s showbiz reporter Sian Welby will host the show next week as they continue to search for a replacement for Holly Willoughby.

ITV bosses are said to be impressed with Ms Welby after a number of appearances on the programme and have paired her with Dermot O’Leary to anchor Monday to Thursday.

Sources at the network say that Ms Welby, 37, is a ‘rising star’ and want to give her a chance to show if she can present the daytime show.

One told MailOnline: ‘Sian has many years of presenting experience under her belt, she is very much ear marked as being a star of the future.

She penned: 'Alreeet lovers, just to confirm, I have not left @thismorning I keep getting asked why I've left, so I thought it's easier to clear up the rumour mill on here'

‘She has done really well already on This Morning so the bosses thought it was time to give her the reins to the whole show rather than just segments.’

They continued: ‘Viewers love a new, fresh face on the show so everyone involved in it is really excited.’

Ms Welby hosts Capital Breakfast alongside Roman Kemp and is also a regular reporter for This Morning.

She and O’Leary will be joined in the studio by Hollywood stars Kevin Hart and Gugu Mbatha Raw to chat about the new action packed heist film LIFT, as well as catching up with comedian and former Strictly winner, Bill Bailey.

During an appearance on Wednesday’s This Morning, it was announced that Sian would be hosting the show, as she donned a chic shirt dress from Dancing Leopard.

Alison Hammond and O’Leary will continue to host their as usual Friday slot.

Ms Welby is the former anchor of Channel 5 News after being spotted by chiefs at the broadcaster in 2010.

She also hosted a show on Heart Radio between 2017 and 2020.

Ms Welby’s role on This Morning comes three months after Ms Willoughby quit after 14 years at the helm of This Morning after an alleged kidnap plot was revealed.

Former security guard Gavin Plumb has also been accused of incitement to murder her. Since then, ITV bosses have been searching for a replacement for her.

They were left ‘gutted’ last month when Cat Deeley ruled herself out of the role after signing for US talent show, So You Think You Can Dance.

Chiefs also had their eye on The Voice presenter Emma Willis but she is understood to have turned down the job as she can’t commit to three days.

Christine Lampard was also said to not be keen on working four days a week.

I’m A Celeb star Josie has been hosting the show for the last two weeks.
