Holly and Phil return to host This Morning again after ITV bosses call 'crisis meeting'

Dermot O’Leary has paid a heartfelt tribute to his This Morning co-host Alison Hammond and the entire show production team after taking the lead with presenting in the wake of Phillip Schofield’s departure last week. Dermot and Alison stepped into the limelight to take on the presenting duties previously held by Phil and co-host Holly Willoughby this week, after Phillip resigned from the show after admitting he had engaged in an affair with a much younger colleague.

Holly Willoughby will return on Monday to present This Morning alongside Josie Gibson, it emerged today.  The news was revealed during the last moments of today's episode by stand-in host Alison Hammond, who said: 'Holly will be back on Monday with Josie. ' Gibson, 38, has appeared regularly on the show since 2019 and guest presented several episodes.

Philip Schofield has slammed accusations of 'toxicity' at This Morning, and strenuously denied he is a bully, following his affair revelations.The show’s former resident doctor, Dr Ranj Singh, hit out at a “toxic” culture at the flagship ITV daytime show, saying he raised concerns about “bullying and discrimination” two years ago when he worked there – and afterwards felt like he was “managed out” for whistleblowing. Former This Morning presenter Eamon Holmes also told GB News this week that "the toxicity is you", referring to Phillip, and criticising his "controlling, coercive behaviour." In a letter on Wednesday, ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall said that an external review conducted following a complaint made by Dr Ranj found “no evidence of bullying or discrimination”.

This Morning's Holly Willoughby was on holiday in Portugal when she discovered a barrister had been appointed to investigate Phillip Schofield's affair with a young ITV co-worker.

Holly Willoughby is reportedly 'looking forward' to returning to This Morning next week amidst the Phillip Schofield affair scandal.

As ITV continues to bear the brunt of the fallout following Phillip Schofield’ s fall from grace after he admitted to having an affair with a much younger colleague, another prominent part of Phil’s celebrity status that has taken a hit - is his portfolio of brand deals. Throughout the course of his career, Phil was headhunted to front a number of high profile partnerships, selling everything from second hand cars through to craft gins to all corners of the general public.

ITV said it has instructed a barrister to carry out an external review of the facts following Phillip Schofield’s statement and departure from This Morning.

Eamonn Holmes has accused ITV's Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby of lying about last year's queue-gate scandal, in which the pair faced backlash after skipping the queue at the late Queen Elizabeth's lying-in-state. Once it emerged that the pair had skipped the queue, in which some people had waited over 17 hours, ITV released a statement clarifying they were there in a professional capacity with "press accreditation", insisting: "They did not file past The Queen's coffin", adding: "Any allegations of improper behaviour are categorically untrue." Now during an interview with GB News's Dan Wotton, former This Morning presenter Eamonn has accused ITV of lying as he asked: "Have you seen the film?" To which Dan answered: "There was no film." Eamonn continued: "Well apparently they were there to make that, that's the official line given by the editor of the programme.They were there to make a film.

Eamonn Holmes has taken aim at Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield for appearing to present This Morning ‘drunk’ after the National Television Awards. The pair had turned up in 2016 after that year’s ceremonies still dressed in the same clothes as the night before and were unusually giddy.

Eamonn Holmes has blasted Holly Willoughby for ‘using’ Alison Hammond as her ‘best friend’ in another fresh blow to the culture at This Morning. The 63-year-old made the sensational remarks during a bombshell interview with GB News, during which he also addressed Phillip Schofield’s affair with a much younger man who worked for the ITV daytime show. After claiming the environment was ‘toxic’ on This Morning, Holmes levelled further accusations at presenters Holly, 42, and Alison, 48, claiming their friendship is a sham and ‘wouldn’t have happened two years ago.

ITV has issued an update on the return of Holly Willoughby to This Morning after her former co-presenter Phillip Schofield quit ITV and admitted to an affair with a younger male colleague on the show. Phillip, 61, resigned from ITV on Friday and was dropped by his talent agency after admitting to an 'unwise, but not illegal' affair.

Hit Channel 4 show Gogglebox has just taken a swipe at the former This Morning presenter, Phillip Schofield, following his recent departure from the show and just hours after he confirmed he’d quit ITV for good. In case you missed it, the 61 year old recently released a bombshell statement about the future of his career, including admitting to having an affair with a much younger male colleague and lying to his wife and ITV about it. Of course, Gogglebox was filmed before the latest news dropped, which meant that the resident armchair critics weren’t to know about the affair during filming.

Craig Doyle has taken to social media to mark a 'lovely few days' presenting on This Morning alongside Alison Hammond.The Irish presenter, 52, joined Alison as they took over the helm from Holly Willoughby, who is enjoying an extended half-term break from the show after the departure of co-host Philip Schofield. During Craig's stint on the daytime TV show, the host welcomed a number of guests to the famous couch, including actor Sir Lenny Henry.

Alison Hammond reportedly put her £700,000 home up for sale last Thursday – the last day Phillip Schofield hosted This Morning, before he announced he was leaving the show with “immediate” effect. ITV presenting veteran Phil, 61, called it quits last weekend - after 21 years of fronting the hit morning show, as reports of a "feud" with his co-host Holly Willoughby, 42, raged on. Since his exit, bubbly Alison, 48, has presented the show alongside co-host Dermot O'Leary, 49, - who usually hosts with her each Friday - and Craig Doyle, 52.

Alison Hammond has put her lavish £700,000 home on sale the same day former This Morning star Phillip Schofield left the beloved show.

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby's rumoured "feud" may lead to them being replaced as the Dancing on Ice hosts after he stepped down from This Morning last weekend.

The Dancing on Ice presenting line-up has been thrown into doubt amid the 'feud' between Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. The presenting duo, who were once best friends over more than 20 years, have fronted the skating show since its debut in 2006, but there has been speculation of what will happen since Phillip quit presenting This Morning. Rumours of a fall-out between Holly, 41, and Phil, 62, began swirling earlier this month, with talk of tension on-set and the two of them 'barely speaking' once the cameras stopped rolling.

The last few weeks have been a bit chaotic for ITV's This Morning following speculation of a feud between presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, which is said to have been brewing for quite some time – long before Phil announced that he was 'stepping away' from the show he has presented for over 20 years.

Rylan Clark has joined the frontrunners in the race to replace Phillip Schofield.

Phillip Schofield has officially quit This Morning, several names are floating about as contenders to replace him. With Holly Willoughby remaining at her post, some viewers believe that personalities such as Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond could join her in the ITV studio, with some even speculating that Piers Morgan could be considered. In response that rumour, Piers, 58, has issued one of his typical responses, with the aim being – of course – to ruffle some feathers.
