Vanessa Feltz has shared her opinions on ITV's Holly Willoughby as the Phillip Schofield sage continues to rumble on.
The ITV This Morning regular was quick to defend Willoughby, who has found herself at the centre of the storm following Schofield's decision to quit the morning show.
The 61-year-old left under a cloud in the wake of an affair with a young male TV runner.

Vanessa opened up to OK! magazine about the show's future in the wake of the scandal, reports Birmingham Live.
Agony aunt Vanessa, 61, is a regular on Morning View, alongside Gyles Brandreth. “I’m absolutely devastated on behalf of everyone,” she said. “I’ve always been good friends with Holly and Phil, I’ve been on that show for years and years.
"I just feel very sorry for anybody who’s been hurt or implicated in what’s happened. I hope the show will continue. I love the programme, the content, the fashion, the cooking. Every time I appear on it, which is twice a week for years, I always find myself watching the next item. I’ve always been a fan of it, so it’s lovely to be on a show that you love and enjoy.”
She added:, “I’d be very, very sad if the show were to come to an end. I think it would be a shame and I also don’t think it would be necessary to do that.” Vanessa also hit back at allegations from Eamonn Holmes and also Dr Ranj Singh that the show was "toxic".
“I’ve never seen anything toxic in my life – and that’s the truth!” she said. “I’ve never seen, heard anything! Anything other than just nice people being nice. I’m not just saying that. I would tell the truth. Even last week, or the week before, I didn’t see anything.
"It’s come as a big shock to me and I think to lots of contributors. People who say, ‘Everyone knew’ – it’s not true. It’s absolute rubbish!”
