“Sian Welby continues to make a positive impression on This Morning, and as a result of strong support in our betting, we make her odds-on to be a permanent presenter on the ITV show by the end of 2025,” said Coral’s John Hill.
This Morning fans were delighted yesterday as Sian returned to screens with her adorable baby daughter Ruby in tow.
