“Holly Willoughby Is Fighting Not To Take The Fall!” This Morning Host Will Return Next Week

Holly Willoughby will return to present This Morning next week and “carry on like the professional she is”. She is due to return to the show on Monday June 5 after the half-term break, having taken an early holiday after news of Phillip Schofield’s departure emerged. Schofield 61, resigned from the broadcaster on Friday and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague. On Wednesday, a source told The Sun of Willoughby: “She has made it clear she was one of the people Phil lied to and she has nothing to hide. “She will return to This Morning as planned on Monday and carry on like the professional she is. “Holly has been affected by Phil’s actions and it has been very difficult. She is devoted to This Morning, however, and will continue to do the best job she can for them.” TalkTV’s Julia Hartley Brewer is joined by The Sun’s assistant showbiz editor Amanda Devlin to discuss the latest on the story. A spokesperson for ITV said the broadcaster was “not provided with, and did not find, any evidence of a relationship beyond hearsay and rumour” when it looked into the matter in 2020. #itv #thismorning #hollywilloughby #phillipschofield #hollyandphil #talktv #talkradio
