Holly Willoughby’s lifestyle brand Wylde Moon has shared a cryptic post about "moving forward" amid ITV’s inquiry into her former co-host Phillip Schofield.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Wylde Moon wrote: “Today’s full ‘buck’ moon is the first supermoon of 2023. As the moon in Capricorn opposes the sun in Cancer, it encourages you to merge all thoughts and emotions.
“This alignment suggests that intense emotions may provide clarity and unveil the necessary actions you need to move forward. Listen, learn, love.”
The brand continued: “The July full Moon is known as the Buck Moon because it’s when male deer, also called bucks, are growing their antlers to the fullest and most majestic.
“It’s a time when bucks shed their old antlers and sprout new ones, getting bigger and more impressive with each passing year.”
Willoughby, 42, has been joined by a string of presenters, including Alison Hammond, on This Morning since co-host Schofield left his role in May.
Schofield announced he would be stepping away from ITV on May 20 with “immediate effect” after admitting to having had an affair with a much younger male This Morning colleague in an “unwise but not illegal" relationship.
He had initially lied about the relationship to bosses and the media when previously confronted about it.
Willoughby’s brand’s post follows the Mail On Sunday revealing that a senior manager on Loose Women sent an email to ITV’s bosses in 2020 raising "serious concerns" about the wellbeing of the young man involved in the affair.
By then, the young man had been moved from This Morning to Loose Women, following the end of the relationship.
He was later paid off by the network after his short time there.
Last month, ITV MPs said that they were unaware of any issues about the production assistant, who worked with Schofield on This Morning during their relationship.
But the publication said that sources at the channel believe bosses were very aware of the problem and saw the email.
