Phillip Schofield says he has agreed to step down from ITV’s This Morning “with immediate effect” after more than 20 years.
In a statement, he said: "I understand ITV has decided the current situation can't go on."
His departure comes after reports claimed relations between him and co-host Holly Willoughby had come under strain in recent weeks.
Willoughby said: "The sofa won't feel the same without him."
She will remain as a presenter on the programme, and will be joined by "members of the This Morning family", ITV said, while confirming Schofield's Thursday appearance was his last.
