DANCING On Ice judge Jayne Torvill has backed Stephen Mulhern to replace Phillip Schofield alongside Holly Willoughby when the series returns in January.<\/p>\n
The show was thrown into chaos when Phillip quit ITV earlier this year after he confessed to a romance with a younger This Morning runner.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Speaking at the National Television Awards at The 02 in London on Tuesday, Dancing on Ice's head judge Jayne told The Sun: "I am sure ITV will find the right person.<\/p>\n
"Stephen (Mulhern) did it before when Phillip was ill. And he was great. If he did it, it would be great."<\/p>\n
Asked whether Holly, 42, could take on hosting duties alone Jayne, 65, replied: "I am sure she could if she had to."<\/p>\n
Earlier this year Phillip quit\u00a0This Morning\u00a0and ITV when it emerged he had lied over the\u00a0relationship with a runner\u00a0almost 30 years his junior.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a\u00a0statement,\u00a0he said he was "deeply sorry" for the affair which he said was\u00a0\u201cunwise, but not illegal\u201d.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jane McDonald, 60,\u00a0has also been tipped to win the coveted telly job after\u00a0she impressed as a stand-in host for Phillip\u00a0at the British Soap Awards, which he had overseen for 16 years.<\/p>\n
A former Dancing On Ice winner has also thrown their hat into the ring.<\/p>\n
Jayne attended the NTAs on Tuesday night with her daughter Jessica and the proud mum beamed beside her stunning daughter.<\/p>\n
