ITV This Morning brutally snubbed at TV awards as it's beaten by animal show
This Morning was brutally snubbed at the TV Choice Awards, following a difficult year for ITV's flagship daytime series. The programme lost out on the gong for Best Daytime Show at Monday's event, 12 February – which instead went to a rival series, BBC TV's Animal Park, hosted by Kate Humble and Ben Fogle.This Morning faced controversy last May when Philip Schofield stepped down after confessing to a secret affair with a younger colleague. Holly Willoughby, his former co-host, then decided to leave due to security concerns.There have also been rumours of a negative atmosphere behind the scenes, and the show also failed to win at the National Television Awards for the first time in 13 years.
