Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby "ignored the elephant in the room" as they returned to the This Morning sofa. In hotly-anticipated scenes, the pair of presenters, who have worked alongside one another on the daytime ITV show since 2009, welcomed viewers to the Monday morning edition of the show this morning, May 15.
Phil and Holly dominated the headlines last week as rumours of their alleged feud rumbled on. The Mirror reported yesterday that 60-year-old Phil was keen to "tough it out" with his co-star after it was claimed that ITV were prepared to axe him from the show if viewers "no longer believe in the chemistry" between him and Holly.
Last week, Phil addressed such rumours in a statement, in which he referred to Holly as his "rock" following a difficult time in his personal life after his brother, Timothy, was found guilty of sexually abusing a teenage boy over a period of three years. The presenter asserted that he and Holly remain "the best of friends".
