Holly Willoughby should follow Phillip Schofield “out the door” of This Morning, Eamonn Holmes has said. Holmes, who previously presented ITV’s flagship daytime show on Fridays with wife Ruth Langsford, predicted that Willoughby will not return to the sofa following Schofield’s bombshell exit.
Schofield, 61, resigned from ITV on Friday and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague. The relationship took place while the TV star was still married to wife Stephanie Lowe and before he came out publicly.
Following Schofield’s resignation, the show has been plagued by allegations of “toxicity.” Willoughby is due to return to the show on Monday, June 5 after the half-term break, having taken an early holiday when news of Schofield’s departure emerged.
