This Morning viewers took to social media this morning to demand ITV makes the current pairing permanent due to their ‘amazing chemistry’. Phillip Schofield dramatically left the daytime TV show over the weekend - and co-host Holly Willoughby is currently on leave.
Alison Hammon and Dermot O’Leary have this week taken on the presenting duties in their absense - but today Craig Doyle stepped in and watchers felt that he brought a great dynamic to the partnership. Phil quit This Morning saying: “I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning. But recently, This Morning itself has become the story.
“Throughout my career in TV – including the very difficult last few days – I have always done my best to be honourable and kind. I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on, and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love. So I have agreed to step down from This Morning with immediate effect, in the hope that the show can move forward to a bright future.”
