Presenters Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond appeared to address claims of ‘toxicity’ at ITV’s This Morning following Phillip Schofield’s resignation from the show last week.
As Monday’s episode started, Dermot said: “We all know we happen to be in the news at the moment and of course we appreciate that but just from both of us, the whole team here, the crew, the guys downstairs, we love making this show for all of you.”
Co-host Alison Hammond added: “We really do and that’s exactly what we are going to do, we are going to continue to do that.” Gyles Brandreth, who is in the studio to review the news stories of the day, said: “We are very happy to be here, can I say that as well?
