Vanessa Feltz has shared her "truth" about her experiences working on ITV's This Morning amid rumours of a "toxic" culture.
Former host Phillip Schofield, who sensationally quit the programme and ITV last month, came out in defence of This Morning and its team. He said: "Now I no longer work on This Morning I am free to say this. I hope you have noticed that it's the same handful of people with a grudge against me or the show who seem to have the loudest voice.
"This Morning is the best show to work on, with the best people. In all the years I worked there there was no toxicity. You can listen to those persistently loud voices if you like.

"But the thousands of guests over the years, thousands of staff and crew, hundreds of presenters and contributors all know, it is a family of wonderful, talented, kind, hard working people."
Now Vanessa Feltz has had her say after appearing as a guest on the programme for many years. The 61-year-old told OK!: "I’m absolutely devastated on behalf of everyone. I just feel very sorry for anybody who’s been hurt or implicated in what’s happened."
Speaking about what Holly Willoughby, 42, is like off camera she said: "Holly has been fantastic [to work with]", adding that Alison Hammond is also "amazing".
Vanessa added: “I’ve never seen anything toxic in my life and that’s the truth. 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."
