Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have been omitted from one of This Morning’s advertising segments, according to reports.
The couple has continued to co-host This Morning, however a small shift happened during a video that was shown during today’s broadcast.
Friday’s hosts, Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond, inform viewers about the upcoming programmes for the following week. This contained the 12 At 12 competition, in which Phil and Holly, and sometimes Josie Gibson, assisted viewers in winning up to £12,000.
The ITV show’s audience was encouraged to enter immediately in order to ensure a spot in the competition.
Normally, Holly, 42, and Phil, 61, appear in trailers, but they were glaringly absent this time, according to The Mirror.
However, Alison, 48, did note later in the programme that Holly and Phil will be doing a ‘Scam clinic’ on Monday’s episode.
Some followers have even claimed to have seen a social media update that may indicate anything is going on between the couple.
They allege that her Twitter bio used to read: ‘I was introduced to this by a Twitter legend,’ with Phil’s account then linked.
It now reads: ‘Broadcaster. Founder of Wyldemoon. Brand ambassador for Marks & Spencer and Garnier. Author of ‘Reflections.”
‘Didn’t Holly’s twitter bio say something about being introduced to Twitter by ‘a legend’ (ie Phil), now it’s not there…#nosmokewithoutfire,’ wrote one person and added alleged picture evidence.
Another added: ‘Loads of newspaper reports overnight that they’ve both fallen out and don’t talk anymore. Holly’s also removed the mention of Phil from her twitter bio #ThisMorning’

Phil just issued a statement in response to speculations of a split.
‘As I have said before, Holly is my rock.
‘We’re the best of friends — as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone.’
He continued to The Sun: ‘Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I’ve been there for her.
‘The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us.’
According to a source, Holly had no idea Phillip was going to make a statement.
It’s reported that she viewed it for the first time when it was published online.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1.
