Inside This Morning's shakeup row that 'sparked Holly and Phil fallout'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The last few weeks have been a bit chaotic for ITV's This Morning following speculation of a feud between presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, which is said to have been brewing for quite some time – long before Phil announced that he was 'stepping away' from the show he has presented for over 20 years.

Phillip announced on Saturday that he was departing from This Morning with 'immediate effect' following speculation he and co-host Holly Willoughby were no longer speaking off camera.Feud claims mounted after Phillip's brother's sex abuse trial, and the queue-gate drama back in September after both Phil and Holly were falsely accused of skipping the line to see the late Queen Elizabeth lying-in-state.It appears that trouble could have kicked off long before rumours of a feud between Holly and Phil even emerged, writes The Mirror.

Things could have well taken a turn in their seemingly unbreakable friendship after Phillip reportedly 'destroyed Holly's plans for a big change on This Morning'.

The pair, who have presented alongside one another for more than 13 years, are reported to have 'fallen out for good' after Phillip went over Holly's head on This Morning after she requested an all-female cast and crew for International Women's Day.In March, Holly and the show's editor Martin Frizell had reportedly decided that an all-female presenting line-up would be a great way to mark International Women's Day.However, Phillip was reportedly not pleased with the idea and being left out and went over Holly's head over the matter.According to Mail Online, Phil "went to ITV's big boss Emma Gormley to put a stop to them".After Phil allegedly "put his foot down", Holly was only allowed to host the first section of the show
