Alison Hammond called an immediate halt to Monday's This Morning to pay tribute to Phillip Schofield, days after his headline hitting exit from the show.
Posting on Instagram, 24 hours after Alison hosted the programme alongside Dermot O'Leary, and just two days after what was to be his final appearance on the famous sofa, Phillip broke the news that he was leaving the high profile job he'd held for over 20 years.
In the message uploaded to his Insta story, Phillip wrote: "Throughout my career in TV – including the very difficult last few days – I have always done my best to be honourable and kind. I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on, and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love."
