Summary

Emma Willis was forced to cancel her planned appearance on This Morning due to sudden illness, resulting in her absence from the show on Monday. Co-host Dermot O'Leary was joined by ITV presenter Josie Gibson for the broadcast. The sudden cancellation meant viewers missed Willis, who has previously garnered significant fan support.
Fans have repeatedly expressed their desire for Emma Willis to become a permanent presenter on This Morning. This sentiment surged after her popular co-hosting stint with Rylan Clark in late 2023, leading to widespread calls on social media for them to be given full-time roles.
Willis previously underwent surgery in April for a hole in her heart, a condition she had since birth. While her recovery was described as smooth due to keyhole surgery, she has had to adapt to adjustments. Bookmakers had previously listed her as a favorite for a permanent presenting role.
