The future of This Morning hangs in the balance as infighting, feuds, and dirty-laundry airing continues to overshadow the hit ITV show.
Last week, long-standing presenter Phillip Schofield quit the series following a rumoured feud with co-star Holly Willoughby, then later he admitted to having an "unwise" but "not illegal" affair with a "much younger" colleague whilst working on the show.
Since then, everyone from former guests to ex-hosts have been sharing their thoughts on the show, opening up about things ITV might have preferred to remain secret.
And now an old clip of Phillip has been shared, where he revealed that he was forced into the "grey closet" by ITV, who he said made him dye his hair before he appeared on screen.
What do you think about what's going on at ITV? Let us know in the comments...
Phillip previously revealed that he started going grey when he was 16, just like his mum, and by the time he was 19 he had resorted to dyeing his hair.
Speaking on Kem Cetinay's Kem Cuts in 2019, Phillip said: "Well the thing is 16 and I was getting grey hairs – my mum went grey when she was 16. By the time I was nineteen, I was colouring it and I went to live in New Zealand and that is when I dyed my hair.
"For the first time at 19 – and it was covered up for absolutely ages – and I'm not sure I've said this out loud before so you have a bit of an exclusive here.
"But I just signed a contract for ITV and I decided to let my hair go and my office got a phone call from the Head of ITV saying: 'Can you please tell him to put it back? We didn't hire a grey guy'."
Phillip added that someone else said he looked "like a badger" and he had no choice by to go back "into the grey closet".
But since then, Phillip has learned to love the hue of his hair and he fully embraces his unique look.
On one episode of This Morning, he corrected his former friend Holly Willoughby when she called him "grey-haired", saying: "I like to call it silver as a matter of fact."
Meanwhile, while Phillip's career might currently be in tatters, Piers Morgan has said that he believes the beleaguered presenter will make a TV comeback in the wake of his bombshell revelation on Saturday.
The former Good Morning Britain host Piers, 58, thinks the Broom Cupboard star can still have a career in TV.
He said: "I think Phil will be fine because he's a very good presenter and will find a new show."
