The announcement comes days after Jane stepped in for Phillip Schofield at the British Soap Awards. "Thank you for all the wonderful and positive messages after last night's British Soap Awards were televised," she tweeted after the show. "It was a dream come true to host the awards, and I loved every minute! Massive thanks to Lifted Entertainment, everyone at @ITV and all the fabulous staff at @The_Lowry."
Phillip stepped down from his presenting role after he admitted to an affair with a younger male colleague whilst at This Morning. He later issued the following statement: "I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning.
"Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship. That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over."
