It's already been one year since scandal rocked TV show This Morning and presenter Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's long-time friendship came to an end.

Phil shocked the world last May when he admitted to having an affair with a much younger male colleague and subsequently resigned from ITV.

Holly Willoughby

Five months after Phil's departure from This Morning, Holly announced that she too was leaving the show after 14 years of presenting.

The news came after she had to take time off after being the focus of an alleged kidnap plot that left her shaken.

Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard were later announced as the new hosts of This Morning, ushering in a new era for the morning TV show.

Meanwhile, Holly's career has gone from strength to strength and she returned to the small screen to host Dancing On Ice alongside new co-star Stephen Mulhern.

She has also signed a lucrative deal with Netflix to host a jungle-based reality show and will appear alongside survival expert Bear Grylls, as the host of Bear Hunt.

Phillip Schofield

Phil has kept a relatively low profile since his resignation from ITV. He has made no public appearances and has maintained a silence on social media for over a year. Before 15 May 2024, his last post on Instagram was shared on May 7, 2023.

Phillip has in recent months been supported by celebrity friends, including Ant and Dec as well as Alison Hammond and Lorainne Kelly.

After Phil was spotted laughing and joking while out for dinner recently with Declan Donnelly, from Ant and Dec, a source told The Sun: 'They have all been rallying around him and their support, especially from Dec who is such a good friend, has really helped Phil.

'Some TV executives have been in touch with Phil about a possible return and his friends have told him he should consider it.

'Phil is still shell-shocked by everything that happened last year and is happy at the moment to focus on rebuilding his life with the support of his friends and family.'

We will have to see where this goes for Phil!
