Holly Willoughby has responded to reports she's leaving This Morning, calling them ‘so unfair and untrue’.

Speaking on the Jonathan Ross Show, Holly said: "I do really love him (Schofield). I really love him. We’re lucky. We really are. I’ve read those things too. It hurts sometimes because it’s so unfair and untrue, so it’s difficult sometimes.

Holly, who hosts the show from Monday -Thursday each week, discussed the idea of retiring with other guests, saying: "I never think like that. I feel very lucky to be on that show. The show changes so much, I think that’s the beauty of This Morning.
"Recently it’s had the highest ratings it’s had in 15 years. It’s doing really, really well which is extraordinary for a show that’s been around for as long as it has. And I think because it changes and it evolves and it adapts.
"But I think that show has something to teach us a little bit, as long as we keep evolving and changing and moving on and happy to flow with things…"
