It’s been a tough few days for This Morning presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary as they continue to hold down the fort at the ITV morning show in the wake of Phillip Schofield’s departure last week. Phil shocked viewers at home late last month when he revealed he was stepping down from the show, effective immediately, after presenting it for over 20 years. The following week, Phil admitted that he had engaged in an affair with a younger colleague who worked as a runner on the show - something he had lied to ITV bosses about.
As a result of the confession, Phil was subsequently axed from ITV, dropped by his agent, and lost a number of lucrative brand deals. Yet in true showbiz fashion, the show must go on, with Alison and Dermot having stepped in to continue presenting This Morning as the fallout from the scandal continues. On screen, the dynamic duo have been doing their best to carry on as usual, but now a body language expert has revealed that the pair may be struggling more than they are letting on.
Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, body language expert Darren Stanton, who is best known for his work as a “Human Lie Detector” on shows such as The One Show, revealed that both presenters were left feeling “torn” by Phil’s confession. “Alison’s face was completely solemn as she spoke about her former colleague Phillip on This Morning today,” explained Darren. “You could see she was very emotional before she started the piece to camera.
