Reports suggest that Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's friendship ended after the March 8 episode this year. Phil and Holly went past the point of any return on International Women's Day, according to the Mail Online's Dan Wootton, Birmingham Live reports.
Dan reports Holly "decided that there should be an all-female presenting line-up to mark the occasion" but Phil "went over her head" to ITV bosses to stop it. Wootton, the GB News star, writes: "As a result, Holly was only allowed to host the first section of the show surrounded by the show's female production staff, while Phillip was dispatched to a café down the road for a live item.
"Holly was livid about [Emma] Gormley's [Managing Director, ITV Daytime] decision and the fact Phillip had undermined her, and made that very clear to numerous people at ITV. It was the first real sign to This Morning staff that their relationship had fractured and Holly wanted to step out of Phillip's shadow."
