Vanessa Feltz has admitted she's devastated about Phillip Schofield's sensational exit from This Morning and affair confession.
The broadcaster, 61, frequently appears on the flagship ITV show as she heaped praise on the 'beautiful' and 'sweet' Holly Willoughby. Vanessa defended This Morning and rubbished the 'toxic' claims brought to light by Dr Ranj Singh and Eamonn Holmes.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Vanessa said: “I’m absolutely devastated on behalf of everyone I’ve always been good friends with Holly and Phil, I’ve been on that show for years and years. I just feel very sorry for anybody who’s been hurt or implicated in what’s happened. I hope the show will continue."
She added: "I love the programme, the content, the fashion, the cooking.
“Every time I appear on it, which is twice a week for years, I always find myself watching the next item. I’ve always been a fan of it, so it’s lovely to be on a show that you love and enjoy.” She finished up by saying she'd be "very very sad" if This Morning ever came to an end.
Since Phillip's departure, former This Morning contributors have spoken out about the 'toxic' work environment on the show as Vanessa rubbished the claims. “I’ve never seen anything toxic in my life – and that’s the truth!” she said.
“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. Even last week, or the week before, I didn’t see anything.
"It’s come as a big shock to me and I think to lots of contributors. People who say, ‘Everyone knew’ – it’s not true. It’s absolute rubbish!”
