Phillip Schofield's shock exit from This Morning has been the subject of much debate in recent days, with his fellow ITV stars either sharing their support for him, or making brutal digs at the demise in his long-running daytime TV career.
The TV presenter, 61, who fronted This Morning for over twenty years, announced he was leaving the show 'with immediate effect' after endless rumours of a bitter feud between him and his co-host of 13 years, Holly Willoughby.
While his sudden exit came as a shock to many, it seems that several other ITV stars were not as surprised at the outcome, with Piers Morgan speaking in favour of Phil, admitting that he feels much sympathy for the former host of the iconic ITV programme.
