Joel Dommett wants This Morning job

Joel Dommett wants to take over from Phillip Schofield on 'This Morning'.

The 38-year-old 'Masked Singer' host guest presented the ITV show over the summer and is keen to land a permanent slot.

He told The Sun newspaper: "“It was genuinely fun. I enjoy, as a comic, approaching scenarios where you’re going from what would be seen as a funny segment to shifting to a quite serious mode.

“I relished that challenge. I just need to keep working hard and not be an a*******.

“Genuinely it’s a brilliant show and now I’ve had (baby) Wilde, I’m watching more morning television than ever.

“It was amazing to learn from Holly [Willoughby], she’s been doing it a long time. I have no idea what I’m doing tomorrow, so who knows?”

However, Joel faces tough competition from Steve Jones, Craig Doyle, Dermot O’Leary, Ben Shephard, Marvin Humes and Rylan Clark, who have all guest presented the show.

Following Holly's departure from the show a few weeks ago, Abbey Clancy and Channel 5 host Storm Huntley have been touted as replacements.

Meanwhile, Joel recently revealed he wanted to shake off his “shiny suit” persona that he has on ‘The Masked Singer’ by taking part in ‘Survivor’.

He loved fronting the BBC One version of the adventure programme - which will see 18 contestants fight it out in a series of challenges to win a cash prize - and he didn’t realise how “unclean” he was until his agent visited him on the set.

He told The Sun newspaper: “I grew my beard out until about halfway through, then I realised I was starting to look really ugly, so I thought, ‘I need to trim this back’.

“I speak for a lot of the crew here, we became absolutely feral.

“Every now and again someone new, like my agent, would come to visit and you don’t realise how unclean you are until someone clean arrives ... we really enjoyed it.

“For 'Masked Singer' you’ve got the shiny suit, stood next to an Octopus, which is so different from 'Survivor' and it’s a huge departure for me.

"I really love that. But then again it’s quite hard to be funny when people are punching each other in the face.”
