PHILLIP Schofield’s future on Dancing On Ice could be at risk after sensationally quitting This Morning.
The ITV presenter stepped down from his role on the flagship daytime programme after more than 13 years.

But amid a continued feud with his co-star Holly, 42 who he also presents alongside on Dancing On Ice, his future on the primetime show could also be at risk.
Rising tensions between the pair have led to the former releasing a shock statement this afternoon.
The presenting pair saw their once-close relationship crumble in recent weeks.
Holly first joined This Morning in 2009 after a successful stint at presenting the celebrity skating competition alongside Phillip.
But now he took to social media to confirm that he will be stepping down from his role on This Morning after a “difficult” few days.
Phillip, 61, failed to mention his longtime co-star in his statement announcing his departure.
“I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning, but recently, This Morning itself has become the story.
“Throughout my career in TV – including the very difficult last few days – I have always done my best to be honourable and kind.
“I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love.
“I’d like to thank everyone what has supported me – especially This Morning’s amazing viewers – and I’ll see you all for the Soap Awards next month.”
However, Holly shared her own emotional statement this afternoon.
She penned: “Hi everyone, it’s been over 13 great years presenting This Morning with Phil and I want to take this opportunity to thank him for all of his knowledge, his experience and his humour.
“The sofa won’t feel the same without him,” followed by a love heart.
The Celeb Report has reached out to ITV and a representative of Phillip for comment.
