According to a source, Willoughby, who has faced accusations of knowing about Schofield’s action, “has made it clear she was one of the people Phil lied to and she has nothing to hide”. She is devoted to This Morning, however, and will continue to do the best job she can for them.” On Saturday, Willoughby wrote on Instagram that it had “taken time to process yesterday’s news” following Schofield’s statement, adding: “When reports of this relationship first surfaced, I asked Phil directly if this was true and was told it was not. It’s been very hurtful to now find out that this was a lie.” Willoughby’s return comes as This Morning has been plagued by allegations of “toxicity” since Schofield’s exit, with Eamonn Holmes alleging there was a “total cover-up” over the Schofield affair. I look forward to getting some answers from ITV bosses.” Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield photographed in 2018 Dame Carolyn McCall, ITV’s chief executive, could be among those to face questioning next week from MPs, it’s been reported.
