Phillip Schofield has reportedly fled London to Cornwall, following his departure from ITV's This Morning.
After deciding to walk away from his 21 year presenting role on Saturday, the Mirror reports that Schofield decided to visit his 85 year-old mum who lives in the seaside town. Philips' "immediate" departure is a result of intense scrutiny from an alleged feud between he and Holly Willoughby.
ITV confirmed this yesterday, with the 61 year-old saying in a statement that things couldn't "go on". He admitted that show staff were aware of the situation between him and Holly, who paid tribute to her colleague after working together for 13 years.
