Family Fortunes viewers couldn't help but comment when Gino D'Acampo suffered an 'awkward' moment on the pre-recorded programme. Those tuning in to the quiz show on Sunday night (May 21) were left squirming when - in a poorly timed question about This Morning - former host Phillip Schofield was one of the answers.
Phillip sensationally quit This Morning after 20 years. The presenter 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 of a behind the scenes 'rift' with co-host Holly Willoughby became rife.
Having already presented his last episode on Thursday, May 18, Phillip said: "I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning. But recently, This Morning itself has become the story. 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."
