Amanda Holden has cryptically shared a post to social media minutes after it was revealed that Phillip Schofield has quit This Morning. ITV announced on Saturday (May 20) that after 20 years fronting the daytime show, the veteran presenter had made the decision to 'step back'.
The shock news came after a reported 'rift' behind the scenes between Phillip and his co-host Holly Willoughby. The duo, who have hosted the ITV daytime show together for 14 years, are reported to be 'barely speaking' behind the scenes. Claims of issues between the duo have been brewing in recent weeks after the presenters failed to host the programme together for a number of weeks.
However, attempting to defuse the rumours, Phillip issued a sensational statement in which he hailed pal Holly as his "rock". He added to The Sun: "We’re the best of friends – as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone. Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I’ve been there for her. The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us."
