ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby breaks social media silence after issuing statement

Holly Willoughby has returned to Instagram following her This Morning comeback. The 42-year-old was back on ITV screens yesterday after a two-week break following Phillip Schofield's exit from the daytime programme.

Phil, 61, stepped down from his role on the daytime show on Saturday, May 20 following a rumoured rift with Holly and later quit ITV altogether after revealing he'd had an affair with a younger colleague. Following his exit, Holly took some time away from both television and social media.

But the presenter returned to the daytime show on Monday, June 5 alongside Josie Gibson and issued an emotional statement to viewers. The mum of three said she had felt "shaken, troubled and let down" as she addressed the controversy. You can read her statement in full here.
