It’s pretty hard to imagine This Morning without Holly Willoughby.

The 36-year-old presenter has been a part of our morning routines for almost 8 years now, alongside her best friend Philip Schofield.

When compared to her first ever onscreen job, it is very different! Have you seen Holly’s first ever advert for a bra company? You can watch it here!

But it looks like someone else has an eye on her primetime TV spot – and it’s none other than Amanda Holden!

Amanda is more recently known as a judge of Britain’s Got Talent, but she has guest hosted This Morning in previous years. When Holly went on maternity leave, it was Amanda who stepped in – and although they are pretty big shoes to fill, she did a wonderful job.

Remember the 'key hole' moment? We’re still laughing now!

And when Amanda was asked about the position at This Morning, she told The Huffington Post: “The main reason I was thrilled to stand in for Holly during her maternity leave on This Morning was that I’d be able to show a different side to myself.

“I loved every minute. Holly is incredible but if she ever does finally hang up her stilettos, that’s the job I’d really want to be considered for.”

The mum-of-three said she enjoyed discussing a range of topics and issues relating to mums, and loved covering the news and fashion segments.

It looks like you’ve got competition to be Phil’s right hand woman, Holly!
