Viewers were left ‘wanting more’ and frustrated at what they said was a ‘totally insincere’ statement from Holly Willoughby on the Phillip Schofield departure. The much anticipated moment left many viewers feeling underwhelmed as she described her feelings as being ‘shaken, troubled, let down, worried.”
She described giving her ‘love and support to someone who was not telling the truth’. But some viewers were not happy - and said that the scripted statement had left them with unanswered questions.
The TV presenter, 42, was back on screen after being pictured in Portugal with her family on a half-term break following the shock departure of her former co-host Schofield and his subsequent revelation of an affair with a younger ITV male employee.
