The race to become a main presenter on This Morning is on and a new favourite has emerged to replace Phillip Schofield, after the long serving host confirmed us exit from the show at the weekend.
At the end of a week that saw him and co-host Holly Willoughby plagued by rumours of a behind the scenes 'falling out' and with bookies tipping Phillip to leave This Morning in a matter of days, the famous hOst did just that, taking to Instagram on Saturday to announce he was walking away from the job that he'd held down for over 20 years.
In a statement posted on his Insta story, Phillip said he appreciated ITV's stance that the situation 'couldn't go on' as it was and added that he hoped the daytime show would go onto 'a bright future.'
