Phillip Schofield's £1 million deal with We Buy Any Car has come to an end

The This Morning presenter had been the face of the car buying company for the past five years, appearing in its promotional campaigns in the long-running endorsement deal.

However, the deal was contracted for five years and earlier this year, a mutual agreement was made for it to come to an end in 2022, leaving the spot open for a new big name to take on the role.

Although some have questioned whether the decision was due to the whole queue-jumping saga, We Buy Any Car has made it clear that the agreement was made long before then and had nothing to do with the news.

In other Schofield news, ITV bosses recently confirmed his and Holly Willoughby's jobs at This Morning are safe following a petition to have them removed from the show.

The petition was launched after the pair bypassed those who had queued for hours to see the late Queen lying in state earlier this month.

Despite the fact that Holly and Phil made it clear that they did not take anyone's spot in the line and had simply been taken to see the coffin as part of a press visit in order to cover it on This Morning, that didn't stop people from kicking off on social media.

Dame Carolyn McCall, the chief executive of ITV, said Holly and Phil have been 'misrepresented' over claims they skipped the queue and other mourners.
