This Morning's Clodagh McKenna has broken her silence on Phillip Schofield's exit.
The broadcaster announced he had quit ITV's flagship daytime programme amid speculation a feud with co-host, Holly Willoughby, reached fever pitch. In a statement he said: “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.
