A man was arrested for plotting to kill Willoughby earlier this year, after her co-host, Phillip Schofield left the show after controversies regarding his sexuality and a possible relationship with a cast-member.
There are a few Irish names in the running for the coveted ITV slot. These include Laura Whitmore, Craig Doyle and Davina McCall. Two stand-out names in contention are Maura Higgins and former Late Late Show host, Ryan Tubridy.
ITV will make a decision regarding the replacement for Willoughby in the coming days.
