ITV This Morning is reportedly screen testing a brand new host - and it's a very famous face. ITV This Morning, which is currently hosted by Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond, as well as Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, is trying out new faces.

Among them is Channel 4 Made In Chelsea star Ashley James. The Sun on Sunday has reported the reality TV star, 37, has filmed with several different male presenters to try to be part of the rota on the 10am daytime TV show.

A TV source said: “She’s impressed producers with her well-researched arguments and has gone down well with viewers. The show is always looking to expand and nurture its on-screen talent.” Ashley recently told how her "world stopped spinning" after her young son fell ill and had a seizure.

The mum-of-two had just given Alfie and his little sister Ada a bath when he complained of having a "bad tummy". Ashley, who regularly appears on This Morning to discuss current affairs, wrote: "A slightly scary weekend over here as on Friday night Alfie had a seizure totally out of the blue.

"I debated sharing this but wanted to spread awareness as apparently it can be something really common in under 5s!" The former Made In Chelsea star continued: "So on Friday night Alf and Ada had a bath together as always.

"Tommy took Ada downstairs to bed, and then Alf suddenly said he had a bed tummy. I got him out of the bath and lay him down think he maybe had trapped wind and then he started to convulse. ong story short we ended up in A&E (eternal thank yous as always to our amazing NHS, long may we fight to protect you!) and I’m about to take him to a dr appointment today for a follow up just because he still wasn’t sure right on Saturday."

Ashley added: "The doctor told me about Febrile Seizures - which is hopefully what Alf had. They are super common in under 5s when a child has a fever over 38C."
