Holly Willoughby returned to the This Morning sofa yesterday with a brief scripted statement on the fall of her long-time co-presenter Phillip Schofield:
I imagine that you might have been feeling a lot like I have – shaken, troubled, let down, worried for the wellbeing of people on all sides of what’s been going on, and full of questions, you, me and all of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth, who acted in a way that they themselves felt that they had to resign from ITV, and step down from a career that they loved.
I met Holly at an awards bash, very pleasant she was too, but she was quite clearly not part of Phillip Schofield’s social circle
Not totally unsympathetic to Schofield’s predicament, but one can hardly see the pair reuniting, professionally or otherwise, for the foreseeable future. ‘Only himself to blame’, many readers will rightly say.
