Holly Willoughby speaks to Phillip Schofield inquiry as friends insist she 'has nothing to hide'

Mulcahy is leading an external review of the facts after Schofield left ITV this year.

Schofield's departure from ITV came after he admitted to having a relationship with a younger male member of the This Morning team.

Willoughby has "fully complied and cooperated with everything that has been asked of her by the KC," a source told the Mirror.

The source added: "Holly was more than happy to do what was asked of her, and explain her position, and what she knew, and what she didn’t.”

Friends of Willoughby have said the presenter "has nothing to hide".

Multiple people who worked on This Morning have spoken to the KC during her investigation.

This week ITV's managing director Kevin Lygo said at the Edinburgh TV Festival: "She [Mulcahy] has been talking to everybody involved, they take your phone and look at every single text you've ever sent, email, WhatsApp.

"So, everything is available, lots of interviews, talking to everybody and I hope as soon as possible, but probably in September, she will make that public."

He added: "I don't think we've got anything to hide and if we can adapt and change our processes to make it better, then we should do so on a continuing basis."

In June Willoughby addressed Schofield's departure live on This Morning during the opening minutes of a show.

Willoughby said: "Firstly, are you OK? It feels very strange indeed sitting here without Phil.

"And I imagine that you might have been feeling a lot like I have - shaken, troubled, let down, worried for the wellbeing of people on all sides of what's been going on, and full of questions.

"You, me and all of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth, who acted in a way that they themselves felt that they had to resign from ITV, and step down from a career that they loved. That is a lot to process."
