Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby want another decade on This Morning

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby want to continue presenting ‘This Morning’ for another 10 years.
The presenting duo celebrate a decade of their partnership on the daytime show on Thursday (05.09.19) and hope they can stay in their jobs for a long time to come.
Phillip, 57, said: "I’d be quite happy [to continue], so long as I’m in good health and Holly is too.
"It’s an evolving show, you never know what direction it’s going to take, you know none of us know what direction life is going to take."
Holly, 38, agreed: "I hope it continues to be in people’s front room for the next ten years. I hope it continues to grow, I feel that’s a real strength of the show.
"It’s always adapting and changing, so I think as long as it continues to do that and know when it’s serious and know when its not taking itself too seriously, there’s no reason why it can’t be around for another 10 years, or another 20."
Phillip – who previously presented ‘This Morning’ with Ferne Britton – thinks of Holly as the "sister [he] never had" and admitted he knows everything about his friend.
He said: "For me in Holly, it’s someone I trust entirely and completely and someone who trusts me, not just on the telly but, you know, with our lives.
"I don’t think there’s anything that we don’t know about each other, we know each other’s strengths and each other’s weaknesses.
"If one is feeling down, the other one will be there to prop them up and make sure they’re OK. She’s like the sister I never had.
"I adore my brother, but I never had a sister and Holly is like my younger sister and that’s a lovely position to be in."
