Jane McDonald will replace Phillip Schofield as host of the British Soap Awards, ITV has announced.
The former cruise singer will replace embattled Schofield at the bash on June 6 - a fortnight after Schofield resigned from ITV after admitting to an "unwise, but not illegal" affair with a young male colleague on This Morning and lying about it.
In the announcement on Twitter, the awards confirmed: "We're pleased to announce our host for The British Soap Awards 2023...the fabulous Jane McDonald!. "As a super huge soap fan she's in for a treat as we celebrate all our wonderful soaps in a star studded glittering event that airs this Tuesday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX."The replacement comes after revelations that ITV have instructed a barrister to carry out an external review of the facts following Phillip Schofield's statement and departure from This Morning, chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall has said.
He was subsequently dropped by his management and as an ambassador for the Prince's Trust charity too. In a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer, DCMS Committee chair Dame Caroline Dinenage and Ofcom chief executive Dame Melanie Dawes, Dame Carolyn McCall said: "You will have seen the significant media coverage concerning Phillip Schofield.We're pleased to announce our host for The British Soap Awards 2023...the fabulous Jane McDonald!.
