It’s been a turbulent few months for the stars of This Morning – following scandals, controversies and public dramas Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughy’s Queuegate to guest stars’ love lives.
As Philip Schofield is absent from of the ITV show this week, it follows a string of negative headlines for the stars of This Morning.
Brother of This Morning star Philip Schofield stands trial
In the most recent drama facing a star of This Morning, Philip Schofield‘s brother, Timothy Schofield, is facing 11 charges of sexual offences against a schoolboy.
The offences were allegedly committed over three years from October 2016.
The judge in the trial said that Philip’s celebrity status should have “no relevancy” to the case.
According to The Mirror, the court was told that Timothy went to Phil’s house on September 2021 and admitted he had “time” with the teenager where they watched porn and performed sex acts together.
The court heard how “shocked” Phillip replied “what did you just say?” after his brother confessed.
Timothy is seven years younger than Philip and they were “not particularly close growing up”.
Nevertheless, Philip is missing from This Morning so far this week, and the trial continues.
Philip Schofield replaced on This Morning: Alison Hammond ‘scammed’ amid split
Alison Hammond has also faced some recent lows after she was “scammed” and also split from partner Ben Hawkins.
The pair were rumoured to be engaged before Alison confirmed she is now single.
But it’s not the only drama Alison has faced, as she became the victim of a blackmail plot.
A 36-year-old man was arrested earlier this week, after allegedly scamming Alison out of thousands of pounds.
She reportedly told a friend: “I trusted this guy who, it turns out, was only interested in my money. I thought he valued our friendship. I now know he only wanted me to fund his life of luxury.”
Alison apparently tried to cut the so-called friend off many times, before he threatened to “ruin” her.
The star has replaced Philip Schofield on This Morning this week, despite her recent drama.
This Morning star Trinny Woodall ‘split’
And Alison isn’t the only star to go through a recent relationship split, with This Morning’s fashion guru Trinny Woodall recently hinting that her relationship ended too.
Trinny has been with partner Charles Saatchi for 10 years but recently hinted she was single on her Instagram.
The This Morning staple shared on Monday that she was going through a “big life change”.
She captioned the post: “”
