Despite taking time away from ITV’s This Morning on an early half-term break, presenter Holly Willoughby remains at the centre of a scandal involving former co-host Phillip Schofield. On Saturday, May 20, Phillip announced that he’d be leaving the flagship programme with immediate effect following reports of a feud between him and Holly.
It has since transpired that prior to coming out as gay in 2020, Phillip had been having a “consensual” relationship with a younger male production runner - something he called “unwise, but not illegal,” read more on that, here. A statement from Holly, 42, stated that when she confronted her former co-star about rumours of a relationship, he denied them.
While Phillip has left the show, Holly has confirmed that she’ll continue to host. Who would you like to see as her new Monday-Thursday co-host? Let us know in the comments below.
