A body language expert has said that Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond showed 'sadness' in their 'genuine tribute' to Phillip Schofield. The hosting duo were seen fronting This Morning on Monday (May 22) in a change from their usual Friday slow.
The pair were drafted in after Phillip Schofield sensationally quit This Morning after 20 years. Phillip said in a statement that the programme had 'become the story' and that he wanted to "do what I can to protect the show that I love" after rumours were rife that he and Holly Willoughby were 'barely speaking' behind the scenes amid a 'rift' between the pair.
Holly also didn't appear back on the programme after the weekend's news following her decision to take an extra week off work ahead of her pre-planned half-term break next week. The 42-year-old will therefore return to the helm of the show on June 5.
