Holly Willoughby appears to have been dealt a fresh blow weeks after she became embroiled in the Phillip Schofield scandal. The This Morning star has been pushing on as normal following her former friend and co-star's exit from the programme they hosted together for 14 years.
After taking a fortnight off hosting duties, Holly made a tearful return to the ITV daytime show as she extended her pre-planned half-term break following the announcement that her former co-star had quit This Morning due to their rumoured fallout behind the scenes 'becoming the story'.
However, he later stepped back from ITV altogether after admitting to lying to Holly and his employers about a relationship with a much younger ITV colleague. And during her return to screens on June 5, mum-of-three Holly addressed the scandal head on in a statement read out live on air as she was supported by her new co-host Josie Gibson.
