Jane McDonald a Perfect Replacement for Phillip Schofield
McDonald’s appearance comes in the wake of her being hailed as the “perfect replacement” for Phillip Schofield, who recently faced a cheating scandal leading to his resignation from the network. The red carpet event is scheduled for Saturday, with the televised broadcast slated for Tuesday.
Expressing her excitement about being chosen as the host, McDonald took to social media and shared, “Oh my god…everyone knows how much I LOVE my soaps, this year I’ve been honored to be mentioned in Corrie, EastEnders and Emmerdale, so this is just a dream come true. I can’t wait to see all our wonderful soap nominees and celebrate all their hard work with them – roll on the awards, I can’t wait!”
