This Morning viewers rushed to comment as Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary opened the latest episode with a tribute to Phillip Schofield.

The pair were not due to host the programme on Monday (May 22), however, they stepped in after it was announced Phillip had quit and Holly Willoughby was subsequently taking an extended break.

ITV announced on Saturday (May 20) that Phillip had sensationally quit This Morning after 20 years. The presenter said in a statement that the programme had 'become the story' and that he wanted to "do what I can to protect the show that I love" after rumours were rife that he and Holly, 42, were 'barely speaking' behind the scenes amid a 'rift' between the pair.

The veteran TV star added: "I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning. But recently, This Morning itself has become the story.
