Holly Willoughby appears set to ditch Phillip Schofield during their third appearance on This Morning of the week. The presenter took to social media before her appearance live on the ITV daytime show and confirmed she'd be making a shorter appearance than usual.
It comes amid claims the presenting duo, who have fronted the show together for 14 years, are 'barely speaking' behind the scenes. But Holly, 42, and Phillip, 61, put on a united front and were seen together for the first time on the popular programme on Monday (May 15) for the first time since the latter issued a statement on their friendship.
Phillip told The Sun: "As I have said before, Holly is my rock. We’re the best of friends – as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone. Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I’ve been there for her." Phillip added: "The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us."
