Piers Morgan said he has “sympathy” with Phillip Schofield, who he believed was entitled to a “better send-off” from This Morning.
Schofield, 61, announced over the weekend that he was stepping down from presenting the ITV talk show with “immediate effect” after more than 20 years on the programme.
His departure came amid reports of a rift between Schofield and co-presenter Holly Willoughby and after his brother, Timothy Schofield, was sentenced to 12 years in jail after being convicted of child sex offences.
