Holly is said to be struggling to cope with the increasingly tense relationship she has with Philip Schofield
Holly Willoughby has considered leaving This Morning after feeling 'trapped' by the ongoing crisis surrounding her and once close friend and co-host Philip Schofield, a source claims.
Another added: “Holly and Phil looking very uncomfortable on This Morning. Cut the atmosphere with a knife. She can’t even look at him.” Producers may need to take drastic action if viewing numbers drop. According to official figures, Monday’s episode had an average of 726,720 people watching, which was roughly 170,000 less compared to the previous Monday’s 894,000 viewers.
Back in 2021, Holly admitted that it was Phil who persuaded ITV bosses to hire her after they expressed doubts about her hard news skills. “If it wasn’t for Phil, I wouldn’t be on This Morning now because everyone around him at the time when he suggested my name, were like, ‘What? No! She might be all right in the fashion bit but there’s no way she could interview the Prime Minister…’” she said at the time.
