Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary opened Monday's episode of This Morning with a tribute to Phillip Schofield following his departure from the show after his 21 year reign on ITV.
Phillip, 61, left the ITV programme following reports of a rift between himself and co-host Holly Willoughby.
Opening the show last Monday, Alison described Phillip as 'one of the best live television broadcasters this country has ever had' as the brief 35-second tribute began.
