Holly Willoughby has said she felt “shaken, troubled and let down” over her co-host’s behaviour as she made her first This Morning appearance since Phillip Schofield left the show.
Schofield quit after admitting he lied about an “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a younger member of the show’s staff.
Addressing the issue publicly for the first time on Monday, Willoughby said: “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. That is a lot to process.
“And it’s equally hard to see the toll that it’s taken on their own mental health. I think what unites us all now is a desire to heal for the health and well-being of everyone.”
More details soon …
