and most recently we had talk of him and holly willoughby no longer having the on—screen chemistry theyr a week ago we were talking about whether or not this was the a powerplay or whether or not itv had been given a choice between phillip schofield and holly willoughby and a gun for holy week with a bit because she was younger and shinier and had a great following and seem to be more popular with the viewers. perhaps there was more to it than that. yes. there was more to it than that. yes, and we haven't _ there was more to it than that. yes, and we haven't heard _ there was more to it than that. yes, and we haven't heard or— there was more to it than that. yes, and we haven't heard or received any kind of statement from itv as yet. we haven't as yet but it does not like he had lost, we know that you stepping down from presenting to the soap awards, which she was shadowed to do, there was talk when he first stood down from this morning of him presenting a peak time show which won't be happy to know. and your question marks over whether he and holly willoughby will continue their partne

but, you know, holly willoughby is the golden girl of itv.ce between the two, the channel had decided their investment in the future lies with her. there have been a number of controversies around phillip and holly — most notably, perhaps, the queue for the queen's lying in state, where they were highly criticised for not queueing, although they would argue they were doing it in editorial and journalistic capacity. what do you think of all the events surrounding phillip schofield have been the most damaging for his brand? it was quite interesting. queuegate scandal, which was kicked off by the social media crowd, the twitterati, it didn't sustain. there was lots of tabloid headlines suggesting that the show was in trouble. advertisers were going to disappear. guests weren't going to appear on the show. that wasn't to be the case. they rode it. they tried to ride it with this one. but when you've got a flawed relationship between the host, which is being described as a deadend marriage, it was inevitable there would be a divorce. it's quite in

so i think moving forward, it seems that itv are hoping that they will be able to keep holly willoughbymoving forward, people who are being tarnished by what happened will remain just phillip, and that everyone else hopefully will come out unscathed. but that remains to be seen, because it's notjust whether they can prove that — it's how viewers react to that. if they can't see that someone, you know, has that integrity, that's where they're really going to struggle. and we'll find out over the next week or so how their viewing figures do. holly won't be back for at least another week. so this next week will be interesting to see how the 99 is one of the uk's favourite treats — a cone with a scoop of icecream topped with a cadbury flake. but britain's ice cream sellers are complaining that the quality of chocolate flakes has plummeted since production switched to egypt, and they're now too "crumbly". kevin shoesmith went to investigate. good morning to you all. lawrence has got 99 problems. they're his top seller. but he says the quality of the chocolates has crumbled since cadbury move
