'Shaken, let down and worried': Holly Willoughby addresses Phillip Schofield's ITV exit – video
The This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby addressed Phillip Schofield's resignation from ITV as she opened the programme alongside Josie Gibson. Schofield quit and later admitted that he had had an affair with a younger colleague while presenting the show, but denied grooming him, in an interview with the BBC. Willoughby began by sharing her concern for viewers' wellbeing and all of those involved in the scandal. She then went on to say 'it was a lot to process' and she had a 'lot of questions' after giving 'our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth', in reference to Schofield's denial about the affair
