It was there that her award-winning partnership with Philip Schofield was formed, and it was Phil who convinced ITV bosses to give her the job on This Morning.

Phil stepped down, then it subsequently emerged that he had had an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a younger man who worked at ITV. The former BBC Broom Cupboard host immediately quit the network and was dropped by his management team at YMU over the fling that took place while he was still married to wife Stephanie Lowe. Holly was quick to put distance between herself and the scandal, insisting she had no knowledge of the affair - something Phil backed up. "When reports of this relationship first surfaced, I asked Phil directly if this was true and was told it was not," she wrote on Instagram. "It's been very hurtful to now find out that this was a lie. Holly." Nevertheless, the mother-of-three took a hit over the emotional statement she delivered when she returned to the show after the drama.
