Holly Willoughby said she felt “shaken, troubled, let down and worried” as she returned to This Morning after the Phillip Schofield affair scandal.
The presenter choked back tears and clutched co-star Josie Gibson's hand as she addressed the row live on air at the start of Monday's show.
Former host Phillip Schofield quit the long-running ITV daytime show last week after admitting to an affair with a younger, male runner.
