Phillip Schofield announced he is stepping down from hosting ITV's This Morning this weekend. It comes after recent reports that a rift has formed between him and his long-time co-host Holly Willoughby.
The TV duo had presented the show together since 2009 and also co-host ITV’s Dancing On Ice. Following Schofield’s departure, ITV has said Willoughby will remain on the show and will “co-present with members of the This Morning family”.
The pair have been open about their close friendship over the years, which has included sharing pictures on social media of them while on joint holidays with their families. But recently, the pair have seemingly drifted apart.
