Piers Morgan slams TV industry staffers after Phillip Schofield exit

Piers Morgan seems so furious over Phillip Schofield’s departure and called out all the TV industry staffers.

Philip left the daytime programme on Saturday (May 20) suddenly after it was rumoured that the end of his long-standing friendship with Holly Willoughby was questioned.

Yesterday’s programme then was hosted by stand-in presenters Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond, privileged the former presenter’s 20-year-plus period on the programme with a 30-second segment, with many believing the homage ‘awkward’ and ‘cold’.

Allegedly, it was believed that the decision of ‘awkward’ decision to gloss over was a planned and scripted by The Mornings’ bosses, who were trying to escape and skip the issue.

Although, TalkTV host Piers Morgan didn’t backed off firing and industries bigots by condemning them for the ill treatment of the talent.

Speaking on Times Radio, he said: "Anyone who thinks daytime telly is full of smiley, nicey, happy clappy people; I think they are beginning to realise it is infested by a pack of savages."

"There is nothing more ruthless than the way talent, as we so laughably get called in TV, get treated when the plug gets pulled."

According to The Sun, a TV insider said: "A ­tribute to Phillip had to be done, it was unavoidable. The sensible thing to do was nip everything in the bud and just get on with the show, as there is a huge desire to return to normal."
