Holly Willoughby announced she was stepping down from This Morning earlier this month.
The 42-year-old had tried to ride out the storm she faced from 'Queuegate' last year, when she and co-host Phillip Schofield were accused of skipping the queue to see the late Queen lying in state following her death.
Following the tumultuous events, Holly decided to quit This Morning and focus on her family. An insider claims that this wasn't an easy decision for Holly, and was left in floods of tears despite knowing it was the right thing for her. “Holly loved her job on This Morning, but there had been so many moments leading up to her ultimate decision that made her think now was the right time to walk away.”
“After Phil left, she had really positive ambitions for the show and wanted to create a female-driven presenting force on the sofa. But after producers brought on Ben Shephard, she felt as if she didn’t have as much power as she’d assumed, and it left a bad taste in her mouth. Suddenly, Holly was unsure if she really was going to be the leader of the pack following Phil’s departure and, if that was going to be the case, there’s no way she was going to stay and put up with it.
