Holly Willoughby dodges question on whether she 'misses' Phillip Schofield at NTAs

This Morning fans have said the show has found 'the one' to replace Phillip Schofield after Holly Willoughby was seen 'having trouble'. Ben Shephard has won praise from viewers of the ITV daytime show after he returned to front the show for the first time in six years.

Holly Willoughby has previously told new that the last 12 months have been “difficult at times” and “up and down” in the wake of the Phillip Schofield scandal. But the presenter was determined to make a fresh start and head back to the This Morning sofa after the summer break. However, it would appear that escaping the past may not be that easy, as reports this week suggest Phillip’s affair with a younger colleague is being made into a TV drama.The rumoured show, which is said to have a working title of The Runner and will allegedly detail the fallout of Phillip’s affair and his departure, won’t be music to Holly’s ears, an expert claimed.

Holly Willoughby’s new This Morning co-star has been revealed as none other than Good Morning Britain star Ben Shephard.The TV presenter is set to join Holly on the famous daytime sofa on Monday morning, stepping in for Irish star Craig Doyle, who has been appearing on and off for a few months. At the end of Friday's show, Ben was announced as the latest person to join the This Morning family by fellow presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.

Former This Morning host Phillip Schofield has removed all traces of his once close friend Holly Willoughby from his Instagram account. Phillip and Holly presented the ITV daytime show together for over a decade until he left the show in May.Their friendship became frayed before Phillip admitted to having an affair with a much younger colleague on the programme, which led to him stepping down as presenter after 21 years. His Instagram page has over two million followers, and at one stage, it was full of snaps of him and Holly showing how close they were during their time on the show.The pair were such good friends outside of This Morning that they used to holiday abroad together with their families every year.

All eyes have been on This Morning frontwoman Holly Willoughby this week after a catastrophic result at this year's National Television Awards, which saw the lunchtime show miss out on a single accolade and receive boos from the audience. But it seems as though 42 year old Holly is already attempting to brush over the once much-loved ITV show's awkward loss by embarking on a brand new side project. The mum-of-three took to Instagram yesterday to share a sun-soaked selfie, whilst wearing a #ShowYourLove t-shirt in aid of the Young Lives vs Cancer charity.

She's been known to enjoy a few drinks at the National Television Awards in the past, but at this year's event, Holly Willoughby was near enough sober – and it was all due to her dress choice.The This Morning presenter, 42, has revealed why she's not feeling worse for wear after the NTAs, which took place last night, 5 September at London's O2 Arena, and it's thanks to the design of her Suzanne Neville lilac ballgown. She explained: “I loved my dress last night, I loved getting dressed up all glammed but the problem with that dress was it was a bit wiggly so it was really tight around the old thighs." Holly explained how the tight fit of the dress prevented her from using the toilet often, which therefore meant she needed to limit how much she drank at the awards bash.

Holly Willoughby was left feeling ‘embarrassed’ after This Morning lost out at the National Television Awards, a body language expert said.
