ITV’s This Morning briefly addressed the departure of ex-host Phillip Schofield on Monday, May 22. It was the first show after 61-year-old presenter Phillip Schofield sensationally quit the programme with immediate effect two days ago.
Bookies' favourite replacements Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary presented on Monday. “We can’t start today’s show without paying tribute to the man who spent the last two decades sitting on the This Morning sofa, Phillip Schofield,” Alison began. Dermot then added: “As a show, everyone on and off screen at ITV and This Morning want to say a huge thank you to Phil for what he’s done to make the show such a success over the last 21 years.”
Alison continued: “Quite simply, we all know he’s one of the best live television broadcasters that this country has ever had and we and all the team wish him all the best for the future.”
