After first appearing on our screens back in 1988, beloved daytime TV show This Morning has seen numerous fallouts and dramatic revelations, and it's easy to assume you may have seen it all. But members of the public have been gripped by the latest instalment of chaos in the last week, which has dominated headlines and been at the front of all viewers' minds.
When Phillip Schofield first joined the This Morning family in 2002, he starred alongside Fern Britton, who was replaced by Holly Willoughby when she left the show in 2009. The pair of presenters are believed to have had an explosive falling out, with Phil admitting that he had a heated argument with Fern in a dressing room, 12 months after it came to light that she'd had a gastric band fitted whilst she was the face of Ryvita, The Mirror reports.
A few years later, Phil found himself the subject of Ofcom complaints and being scrutinised by journalists with his "list of pedophiles" slip-up. As he presented the list to the then-Prime Minister David Cameron, Phil was clueless to the fact that viewers could make out some of the names on it, causing Tory MP Rob Wilson to report ITV to Ofcom for allegedly failing to give the subjects of an allegation opportunity to respond.
