This Morning viewers can expect to see a number of changes on the ITV show following news of the departure of one of its presenters after 20 years on Saturday. Phillip Schofield confirmed he would be stepping down from This Morning with “immediate effect”.
The 61-year-old TV presenter will not return to co-host the morning talk show with Holly Willoughby, with Thursday’s show being his last. But now it has been revealed that Holly Willoughby is also expected to be absent from Monday's show as she has decided to take her half-term break early. She is next expected to front the programme on Monday, June 5, after Phillip Schofield issued a statement saying he was quitting after weeks of speculation about a feud between the pair, Birmingham Live reports.
His departure comes amid reports of a rift between Schofield and Willoughby and after his brother, Timothy Schofield, was sentenced to 12 years in jail on Friday after being convicted of child sex offences.
