Holly Willoughby signs 'seven-figure deal' with M&S as Phil's contract ends

Holly Willoughby has signed a 'seven-figure deal' to continue working with Marks & Spencer for another two years.

Meanwhile, her close friend and This Morning co-host, Phillip Schofield has reportedly not been kept on for a £1 million deal with We Buy Any Car. There has been some concern over the presenter's jobs after "queuegate" where they were accused of skipping the line to get access to the Queen lying in state.

However, the presenting pair assured fans that they were there with media accreditation and that they would never take anyone's place in a queue. Since then, ITV have insisted that their jobs on This Morning are secure and they won't be going anywhere.

Holly has been the brand ambassador for M&S since 2018 and the company recently confirmed they will continue to work with her. A spokesperson for the store said: "We have extended our contract with Holly, and we will continue to work with her."

A source added to MailOnline : "Holly has been amazing for Marks & Spencer and has their full support." Meanwhile, her This Morning co-host Phillip's £1 million We Buy Any Car deal recently came to an end after five years, reported The Mirror.

The company have said Phil's contract has come to an end – but that it is unrelated to "queuegate". He was taken off their posters not long before the announcement.

A spokesperson for We Buy Any Car said of the change of posters: “Webuyanycar and Phillip Schofield agreed earlier this year that the webuyanycar/Phillip Schofield campaign would come to an end in 2022, having worked together for over five years. The decision was made prior to any recent stories regarding Phillip."
