Dermot O'Leary is the front runner to replace Phillip Schofield on ITV's This Morning if he was to be axed from the show, according to reports.

Rumours of a "feud" between TV golden duo, Phillip, 61, and Holly Willoughby, 42, have been swirling as of late. Reports emerged earlier this week that the pair were "barely speaking," with Phil going on to make a statement.

Phil's official statement read: "The last few weeks haven't been easy for either of us." He continued: "As I have said before, Holly is my rock.

We're the best of friends – as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone. Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin.
