Phillip Schofield has left his role on This Morning after 21 years as host, following reports of a “feud” with co-host Holly Willoughby.
“Throughout my career in TV - including the very difficult last few days - I have always done my best to be honourable and kind,” Schofield’s statement, released on Saturday, said.
“I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on, and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love.
“I have agreed to step down from This Morning with immediate effect, in the hope that the show can move forward to a bright future.”
Following Schofield’s announcement, take a look back at his final sign-off from the show on Thursday 18 May.
