Piers Morgan has weighed in on the current drama that ITV’s This Morning is embroiled in. Last weekend, Phillip Schofield announced that he’d be leaving the show with immediate effect.
In the weeks leading up to Phillip’s exit, it emerged that he was involved in a bitter feud with co-host Holly Willoughby - read about where everything went wrong here. While he has also publicly backed Phillip, Piers has now issued his support for Holly too - also citing the reason behind the presenter’s “butter-wouldn’t-melt grin”.
Writing in his The Sun column, Piers said: “Holly’s a friend of mine, but beneath the benign butter-wouldn’t-melt grin and touchy-feely motivational Instagram posts lurks a tough, ambitious, brand-protective cookie, which is one of the reasons why I like her.”
