This Morning’s Holly and Phil ‘cut’ from ITV show’s social media after sensational exit

This Morning’s Holly and Phil appeared to have been cut’from an aspect of the programme’s social media.

The flagship ITV magazine show was nominated for a National Television Award and the producers wanted to encourage fans to vote for the programme.

However, the graphic that was featured on the story of the official This Morning Instagram account did not feature Holly Willoughby, 42, and Phillip Schofield, 61, at all.

Only moments that featured Alison Hammond, 48, and Dermot O’Leary, 49, were included in the pictures as the voting link was given to the 2.6 million of the show’s followers.

This comes after both Phillip Schofield, 61 and Holly Willoughby, 42, were recognised in the National Television Awards longlist for best TV presenter, while This Morning is up for the daytime prize.

Veteran broadcaster Schofield announced he was stepping down from presenting the ITV talk show with “immediate effect” after more than 20 years on the programme over the weekend.

Willoughby, who has hosted alongside Schofield since 2009, will remain on the show but has taken early half-term holiday leave, with Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary continuing to fill in for the pair.

Days after his exit, it was announced both Schofield and Willoughby are among 50 names long-listed for the NTA presenter prize, alongside their fellow This Morning presenters Hammond, O’Leary and Rylan Clark.

They are joined in the category by NTA powerhouses Ant and Dec, who took home the award for the 21st year in a row during last year’s ceremony.

This Morning has also been longlisted in the daytime category after winning the award last year, competing alongside shows including Good Morning Britain, Loose Women and Lorraine.

The NTA longlist also saw Dame Deborah James and Paul O’Grady posthumously recognised.

Dame Deborah, who set up the Bowelbabe cancer research fund and died last year at the age of 40 after suffering from bowel cancer, was named in the category of authored documentary.

Meanwhile, O’Grady’s For The Love Of Dogs was listed in the factual entertainment category following the death of the TV presenter and comedian earlier this year.

The programme was joined in the category by Jay Blades’ The Repair Shop and The Martin Lewis Money Show Live.

Eurovision is also longlisted for the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award, as are two shows presented by Ant and Dec – I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and Saturday Night Takeaway.

It comes as the duo announced they would be taking a break from the latter show following its 20th series in 2024.
