Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby ‘absence’ still feels among This Morning members

The presence of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby continues to be missed by the This Morning team.

Jack Whitehall shocked viewers when he mentioned axed presenter Phillip and Holly while appearing on Monday's This Morning.

The ITV show has come under scrutiny in recent months after it was revealed that Phillip lied about having an affair with a younger colleague.

Jack mentioned Phillip when discussing his previous appearances on the show with hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.

While tucking into a shepherds pie, the comedian, 35, explained he has never been invited to try food on the show before: 'I've never been fed before'

He added: 'I got some caffeinated moisturiser from Holly and Phil once. And Vanessa Feltz sat on me on that sofa'.

It comes after Ben Shephard broke his silence on rumours he's swapping Good Morning Britain for ITV This Morning as a permanent replacement for axed Phillip.

The TV presenter, 48, has been a hit with viewers because he has recently joined Holly Willoughby to host the 10am to 12.30pm show.
