Rylan Clark appeared to share a subtle gesture just hours after Phillip Schofield quit ITV.
The 61-year-old stepped away from This Morning last weekend as reports an alleged feud with Holly Willoughby reached fever pitch. The host confirmed on Friday he would also be stepping away from ITV with immediate effect.
Just hours after Phillip shared the bombshell statement, Rylan took to Instagram to share a seemingly cryptic post. Posting a photo of himself on his Instagram story, Rylan could be seen smiling and doing a peace sign.

It comes after Rylan revealed last week that he would be taking a break from hosting his Radio 2 show. He said: "This is where I should say ladies I won't be catching up with you next week.
"Because I am off to do some other bits and bobs so I'm not going to be here for a fair few weeks."
In a statement sent to the Daily Mail on Friday, Phillip Schofield said: "I have therefore decided to step down from the British Soap Awards, my last public commitment, and am resigning from ITV with immediate effect expressing my immense gratitude to them for all the amazing opportunities that they have given me."
In the statement, Mr Schofield admitted to having an affair with a younger male colleague who worked on ITV's daytime programme and apologised for lying to his colleagues about the relationship.
He said: "I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning. Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship. That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over.
"When I chose to come out I did so entirely for my own wellbeing. Nobody "forced" me out. Neither I nor anyone else, to my knowledge, has ever issued an injunction, super or otherwise, about my relationship with this colleague, he was never moved on or sacked by or because of me.
"In an effort to protect my ex-colleague I haven't been truthful about the relationship. But my recent, unrelated, departure from This Morning fuelled speculation and raised questions which have been impacting him, so for his sake it is important for me to be honest now.
"I am painfully conscious that I have lied to my employers at ITV, to my colleagues and friends, to my agents, to the media and therefore the public and most importantly of all to my family. I am so very, very sorry, as I am for having been unfaithful to my wife."
