Myleene Klass is favourite to take over 'This Morning' when Fern Britton leaves in July.

TV host Richard Madeley thinks the 31-year-old presenter is the perfect replacement for Fern on the ITV morning chat show because she is young and glamorous.

Richard - who hosted 'This Morning' with his wife Judy Finnigan for 13 years from its inception in 1988 - said: "I think she would be fantastic. She is attractive, a very good presenter and, nothing against Fern, but I think they need someone younger."

Myleene - who started her career in reality TV pop group Hear'Say before shooting to fame as a classical pianist, model and TV personality - is one of the favourites for the coveted job.

Others in the race to join Phillip Schofield presenting the show include Holly Willoughby, Fiona Phillips, Melanie Sykes and Ruth Langsford. ITV has yet to announce their choice.

Britton, 51, resigned from the show last month, with sources saying she was upset Phillip earned more than her.

Her final show will air in July and her replacement is expected to debut when the programme returns from a summer break in September.
