This Morning fans send clear message over Dermot O'Leary as he cosies up with Holly Willoughby

Dermot O'Leary has been flooded with messages from fans who have made their feelings clear about his future position on This Morning. The presenter returned for another week at the helm of the ITV daytime show alongside Holly Willoughby on Monday (June 19).

Last week, Dermot joined Holly as her latest co-host following Phillip Schofield's shock exit. The TV and radio presenter was previously drafted in to cover for Holly alongside Alison last month after it was revealed that Schofield had quit the popular daytime show after more than 20 years amid rumours of a 'feud' with his former co-host.

However, he later stepped back from ITV altogether after admitting to lying to Holly and his employers about a relationship with a much younger ITV colleague. Following her two-week break amid the fallout from Phillip's admission, Holly, 42, addressed the scandal head on in a statement read out live on air as she was supported by fellow This Morning star Josie Gibson.
