Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood is in talks to become a permanent host on ITV’s This Morning, following a well-received debut that even drew comparisons to the show’s former icon, Holly Willoughby.
A Natural Fit for the Morning Sofa
ITV executives have shown strong interest in signing Olivia to a long-term contract after she impressed viewers with her confident and natural style alongside co-host Dermot O’Leary. Despite some initial doubts from viewers, she handled live television with skill. Reflecting on her debut, Olivia acknowledged the pressure but expressed confidence in her abilities.
“When I got announced there were so rumbles, some people were over the moon, others were skeptical but I knew I could do this, I can do the earpiece, I can be natural, I’m still myself, I was pleased and so was the team at ITV.” — Olivia Attwood to the Daily Mail
Embracing the Holly Willoughby Comparison
Olivia graciously accepts the compliment of being compared to the beloved former host. Holly Willoughby led the popular daytime show for 14 years before her departure in 2023, leaving big shoes to fill. For Olivia, any comparison is a significant honor.
“Holly is a huge broadcaster, any comparisons to her I find completely complimentary… She is an extremely successful broadcaster, she’s a household name, she has been for a very long time. I find comparisons to her a huge compliment actually.” — Olivia Attwood
A Supported and Seamless On-Screen Partnership
A key to her successful debut was the strong chemistry and support from veteran presenter Dermot O’Leary. His guidance helped her navigate the challenges of live broadcasting and made her feel comfortable in the studio.
“Dermot was such a good person to host with, he held my hand through it, he helped me in the breaks with tips and tricks. I felt very at home, I felt like I had been doing it my whole life, which I think is a good sign.” — Olivia Attwood
