Phillip Schofield was left cutting a lonely figure as he was left to 'hold the fort' on This Morning. Before the ITV daytime show was back on air on Wednesday (May 17), Holly Willoughby confirmed that she would be taking early leave from the show.
But it comes amid claims the presenting duo, who have fronted the show together for 14 years, are 'barely speaking' behind the scenes. All eyes have been on Holly, 42, and Phillip, 61, as they continued to put on a united front and were seen together on the popular programme on Monday (May 15) for the first time since the latter issued a statement on their friendship.
Before This Morning aired on Wednesday, Holly stuck with her usual tradition of sharing a posing snap to Instagram, showing off her outfit before appearing live on-screen from the London-based studio. "Morning Wednesday… see you on @thismorning at 10am," she started the caption of her post to her millions of followers.
