Philip Schofield quits This Morning

Phillip Schofield has quit This Morning, ITV has confirmed.

The presenter stepped back from  from ITV's flagship morning show, having presented his last episode on Thursday, ITV said.

He said he was stepping back from the programme because he "has become the story" and "I want to do what I can to protect the show I love".

It comes as Schofield admitted  “things haven't been easy” amid rumours of a recent rift with his This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby.

The pair’s relationship is reported to have come under strain since Schofield’s younger brother, Timothy, was convicted of several sex offences involving a child last month.

Schofield, 61, disowned his brother following the verdict, but there is speculation that his friendship with his co-presenter – with whom he also presents ITV’s Dancing on Ice – has recently deteriorated.

    Not a fan of him myself but doesn't seem fair to quit your role because of something your brother has done? 

    Maybe there's more to it. Or maybe he fancies a timely spell away from the media spotlight.

    If you Google it there's more than a few rumours.

    And his reaction to his brother admitting what he'd done didn't sound good.

    Don’t know if this is meant to be a “whoosh” but surely you know there is?

    Agree. What’s Sandgaard playing at when he should be focusing on selling the club?!?

    Sorry, wrong thread.

    Yeah, but it's a very niche public forum.

    You have to like depressingly shit football and/or trains to bother even thinking about coming on here.
