"The whole This Morning senior team is in complete damage-limitation mode worrying about the presenters who might walk away. "Phillip no doubt thinks he has tried to do the right thing but the overwhelming feeling on set is that procedures need to be put in place to ensure the same mistakes never happen again." The insider added that some of the presenting team think there's too much "toxicity" surrounding the show and that it may be time to move on with their careers.The outlet reports that one high-profile presenter has already drafted their resignation statement, as others are also considering walking away.
