Schofield shared the content of the last text he sent to Willoughby with The Sun, revealing that he wrote: “Don’t reply, you’re probably not allowed to, but I am deeply deeply sorry that I lied to you”. Speaking to The Sun, Schofield admitted that he was very sorry for his actions, saying: “It was the one secret in our sanctuary that was never mentioned.” He later shared that he knew he’d lost his best friend: “I’ve lost my best friend. I let her down. I let that entire show down. I let the viewers down.”

Insiders have told the Mirror newspaper that Holly may be looking to leave This Morning to pursue a new career over at the BBC. The source said: "Holly has had a good relationship and an open dialogue with BBC bosses since she hosted Freeze the Fear. “Ever since then they have been keen to sign her up for another project and have bent over backwards to offer her other opportunities.”
The end of the friendship between Schofield and Willoughby has been a sad one, but it's clear that both presenters are now looking to the future and the exciting opportunities that may come their way. Whatever lies ahead for the former This Morning duo, we wish them both the best of luck.
