This Morning's Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond have addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding the show.
It was the first episode since Phillip Schofield quit ITV after he admitted having an affair with a runner while working on the show. Today's hosts broke their silence on the 61-year-old's exit before they discussed Monday's headlines.
Dermot said: "We all know that we happen to be in the news at the moment and of course we appreciate. But from all of us and the team but we just wanted to say that we love making this show.
