Fern Britton's telly seat is the hottest one up for grabs right now.
But which famous celebrity behind will be glued to it permanently when Fern leaves?
Rumours are circulating saying the biggest contenders are Holly Willoughby and Davina McCall.
According to the Daily Mail, the field of possible candidates has been narrowed down to the two feisty ladies.
It's believed ITV will announce their decision within the next two weeks.
A source told the 'paper: "There are good reasons for having either one of them - they appeal in different ways."
