The fallout that nobody saw coming between Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield could have formulated quite some time away, according to reports – long before Phillip announced that he had decided to 'step away' from This Morning over the weekend.
Phillip, 61, who has fronted the ITV programme for over 20 years, announced on social media on Saturday that he was departing from This Morning with 'immediate effect' following speculation he and co-host Holly Willoughby were no longer speaking behind closed doors.
Feud claims mounted after Phillip's brother's sex abuse trial, and the queue-gate saga back in September after both Phil and Holly were falsely accused of skipping the line to see the late Queen Elizabeth lying-in-state.
