Cat Deeley & Ben Shephard could exit This Morning as show faces 'major overhaul' after boss leaves

THIS Morning faces a “major overhaul” next spring after long-serving boss Martin Frizell quit last night.

The announcement shocked ITV staff including presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard who could see a presenting “shake-up” with a new team expected to come in and rejuvenate the brand.

News of his departure comes just two months after former presenter Phillip Schofield described the mercurial journalist as a “s***” - dragging up two years of turbulent This Morning toxicity.

Although ITV will externally advertise the £155,000 a year role, current Associate Editor Vivek Sharma is heavily tipped to land the coveted gig.

Last night a source said: “This really is the end of an era for daytime telly; huge changes are afoot.

“The show has never truly recovered from Holly and Phil’s departure, and this is a chance to move on from the old guard and bring in fresh faces to detoxify the brand once and for all.
