This Morning will air today as the ITV show continues to face controversy after Phillip Schofield admitted to having an affair with a younger colleague.
Phillip, 61, resigned from the broadcaster on Friday and was dropped by his talent agency after confessing to having an "unwise, but not illegal" relationship with a young male who worked on the programme while he was still married to his wife.
Phillip stepped down from This Morning last weekend with "immediate effect" and his former co-host Holly Willoughby remains on half-term holiday leave.

Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary will continue to fill in for them, including when today's show airs at 10am.
The controversy surrounding This Morning over the last few weeks amid rumours of a rift between Phillip and Holly has put the show's future in question, with reports claiming it could potentially be axed entirely.
But an ITV spokesperson said on Sunday: "As we said on the record yesterday, This Morning is not under review and there are no plans for the show to be axed. This Morning will return as normal tomorrow."
Holly, who hosted the mid-morning show alongside Phillip since 2009, said in a statement that his admission of the affair was "very hurtful" after previous denials he had given her.
On an Instagram story on Saturday, Holly said: "It's taken time to process yesterday's news. When reports of this relationship first surfaced, I asked Phil directly if this was true and was told it was not. It's been very hurtful to now find out that this was a lie."
Holly is due to be back in the studio from Monday June 5, although it is not yet known who her co-presenter will be.
ITV said on Saturday it had investigated "rumours of a relationship" between Phillip and the ITV employee around three years ago but claimed both parties "categorically and repeatedly denied" it.
A spokesperson for ITV said the broadcaster was "not provided with, and did not find, any evidence of a relationship beyond hearsay and rumour" when it looked into the matter in 2020.
A statement, released by ITV on Saturday, said: "ITV can confirm that when rumours of a relationship between Phillip Schofield and an employee of ITV first began to circulate in early 2020 ITV investigated.
"Both parties were questioned and both categorically and repeatedly denied the rumours as did Phillip's then agency YMU. In addition, ITV spoke to a number of people who worked on This Morning and were not provided with, and did not find, any evidence of a relationship beyond hearsay and rumour.
"Phillip’s statement yesterday reveals that he lied to people at ITV, from senior management to fellow presenters, to YMU, to the media and to others over this relationship."
