This Morning viewers baffled as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield 'ignore elephant in room'

This Morning viewers were confused as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield returned to present today's show.

The two are renowned for their broadcasting partnership at the helm of ITV's flagship daytime programme. They have worked together since 2006 when they started their broadcasting relationship presenting Dancing On Ice.

However, reports have recently surfaced that their relationship has since become strained. It emerged this weekend that Holly had reportedly cut ties with her long-time TV co-host and close friend.

The Mirror exclusively reported that Holly had been pushing for ITV to make a decision on her co-host so she can rebrand herself and plan for the future if required.

However, the two put on a united front on today's show, which started with a piano medley from Alan Menken. Holly and Phil were joined by Gyles Brandreth and Camilla Tominey to discuss today's headlines, which started with the fallout from the Eurovision contest.

However, fans following the show on Twitter were confused as they expected the two to address the reports of their feud.

Mark said: "Honestly, watching Camilla Tominey and Gyles Brandreth dodge the elephant in the room is painful. Where is Matthew Wright when you need him?"

Steve added: "This elephant’s so big, it could fill the room."

Gaenor commented: "Are they going to address the elephant in the room? We’re all waiting…."
