Channel 4's Jean Johansson has revealed her bid to host This Morning following Holly Willoughby's dramatic exit from the show.
A Place In the Sun's Jean Johansson has landed herself an ITV This Morning job after 'banging on the door' for multiple years.
In a new interview, Jean claimed she had been 'banging on This Morning's door for years' in an attempt to score a job. “I’m hoping this is just the start,” she said. “I’ve been really honest about my ambitions to get on the sofa one day and I’m one step closer. Everyone has been supportive and that’s not always the case in TV. It’s been great to work closely with Josie Gibson. We’ve been friends for years and she’s got so much warmth.”“When I first auditioned for the show, I didn’t get it and I was completely devastated,” she told the outlet.
Top TV news "But I just had a feeling that it would happen for me, and it did.” She went on to the magazine, while discussing the house-hunters: “I have so much respect for them – they go for it. A lot of us talk about moving abroad but never do it. But they do and they tend to have amazing back stories too.”
