Eamonn Holmes branded Holly Willoughby 'false' and accused of stabbing Phillip Schofield 'in the back' as he made his first TV appearance since Phillip Schofield's departure from This Morning.
After speculation that his 20 years at the helm of the ITV daytime programme could be coming to an end, amid rumours of a feud with Holly, Phillip took to Instagram on Saturday afternoon to announce that he'd left This Morning, saying he recognised that 'This Morning had become the story' and appreciated ITV's stance that the situation 'couldn't go on.'
Phillip assured fans that he would be back non TV to host the upcoming British Soap Awards, as ITV confirmed plans for him to front another primetime series and, by Monday morning, his This Morning exit was still a hot topic on TV news channels.
