Phillip Schofield's Departure from 'This Morning' and Future Primetime Series

ITV is working with Phillip Schofield on a new prime time series and the British Soap Awards, despite his controversial departure from daytime show "This Morning" after rumors of a falling out with co-anchor Holly Willoughby. Schofield confirmed he was leaving the show, but implied it was not his choice. ITV's head of entertainment praised Schofield as "one of the best broadcasters of his generation" and thanked him for his two decades on "This Morning." The frontrunner to replace Schofield is believed to be "This Morning" special correspondent Alison Hammond.
