ITV has made a cryptic statement about the future of its Dancing on Ice presenters following Phillip Schofield's departure from This Morning last week. Earlier this month, a volcano of reports regarding a supposed "feud" between Phil and co-star Holly Willoughby began to erupt, alleging that the pair's once close friendship had "cooled" in recent times.
Away from the This Morning sofa, which they shared for around 14 years, Holly and Phil have fronted Dancing on Ice together since 2006. But viewers of the "greatest show on ice" have been wondering what the next series of the show, which typically airs on Sunday nights in the winter, will look like following Phil's dramatic exit from This Morning last week and rumoured strained relationship with Holly, the Liverpool Echo reports.
As reports of their friendship being on the rocks dominated the headlines, Phil acknowledged the press attention in a statement at the weekend. "I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning," the 61-year-old said.
