Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have been recognised in the National Television Awards longlist for best TV presenter, while This Morning is up for the daytime prize.
Veteran broadcaster Schofield announced he was stepping down from presenting the ITV talk show with “immediate effect” after more than 20 years on the programme over the weekend.
Willoughby, who has hosted alongside Schofield since 2009, will remain on the show but has taken early half-term holiday leave, with Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary continuing to fill in for the pair on Tuesday.
