After 21 years on ours screens as the host of This Morning, Phillip Schofield officially announced his resignation effective immediately on Saturday.

Sharing the news via a pre-written statement on social media, Phil said: “I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning.

But recently, This Morning itself has become the story. “Throughout my career in TV – including the very difficult last few days – I have always done my best to be honourable and kind.

I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on, and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love. “So I have agreed to step down from This Morning with immediate effect, in the hope that the show can move forward to a bright future.
