Phillip Schofield shocked fans on Saturday afternoon when he uploaded a bombshell statement to his Instagram story to announce he was stepping down from his presenting role on This Morning.
The 61-year-old had been presenting the ITV show since 2002, with he and co-star Holly Willoughby once one of the nation's most loved duos.
However, rumours of an alleged rift began circulating after it was claimed the pair had not been speaking off camera for months.
