Holly Willoughby will return to present This Morning next week and “carry on like the professional she is”.
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.”
TalkTV’s Kevin O’Sullivan and Rosie Wright are joined by The Sun on Sunday’s showbiz editor and Brand Guru Marcel Knobil to discuss how ITV should approach the Phillip Schofield crisis.
Kevin: “Surely Holly Willoughby should move onto new projects.”
Brand Guru Marcel Knobil: “I think they will still try and build round Holly.”
ITV a denied knowing about Phillip’s relationship in the following statement: "We are deeply disappointed by the admissions of deceit made tonight by Phillip Schofield. The relationships we have with those we work with are based on trust. Phillip made assurances to us which he now acknowledges were untrue and we feel badly let down.”
YMU also released a statement adding: “Honesty and integrity are core values for YMU’s whole business, defining everything we do. Talent management is a relationship based entirely on trust.
“This week, we have learned important new information about our client Phillip Schofield.
“These facts contradicted what Phillip had previously told YMU, as well as the external advisors we had brought in to support him.
“As a result, on Thursday we agreed to part company with Phillip, with immediate effect.”
