Holly Willoughby to address Phillip Schofield scandal ‘honestly’ | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Holly Willoughby has been on an extended half-term break from This Morning and she is making her first TV appearance since Phillip Schofield stepped down this coming Monday. 

A source told The Sun the host has personally prepared a statement because she wants to tell viewers how difficult it has been for everyone behind the scenes.

They said: “Holly wants to address Phillip’s recent admissions about his affair.

“She will be honest and open, mentioning him by name. She’s not shying away from the tricky subject as she wants to show up for the viewers and loyal fans.

“Even though Holly has been on holiday with her family, she has been thinking about it a lot and tried to process the dramatic turn of events.

“She has thought about what she will say and written it in advance, taking her time to get the words right. It’s not something she’s being forced to do.

“It won’t be an easy moment for her, and she knows she could get emotional, but she thinks it’s the right thing to do and wants to speak about it in an honest way.

“It will happen at the very beginning of tomorrow’s show.

“Holly was really  upset to hear that Phil was feeling suicidal amid the backlash since the scandal and doesn’t want him to be in any pain, so she will choose her words carefully and deliver them in a sensitive manner.”
