Phillip Schofield makes dramatic Holly Willoughby move ahead of first National Television Awards without him
manchestereveningnews.co.ukPhillip Schofield has made a dramatic move ahead of Holly Willoughby attending her first National Television Awards without him.
This Morning will seek to defend its best daytime show title at the annual bash as the programme continues to face backlash amid the furore surrounding Schofield's exit.
The ITV daytime programme, which has been on a winning streak in the daytime category for the last number of years, will go up against The Chase, Loose Women and The Repair Shop as the annual award ceremony returns to The O2 in London on Tuesday evening (September 5).
Schofield, 61, and Holly, 42, had also been longlisted for the best TV presenter prize, alongside fellow This Morning hosts Alison Hammond, Dermot O’Leary, Rylan Clark and Martin Lewis, but only Alison and Martin made the cut, going up against Ant and Dec, Bradley Walsh and Claudia Winkleman.
