HOLLY Willoughby has broken her silence on a "difficult year" filled with "ups and downs" following former This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield's exit.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Phillip, 61 – Holly's longtime best pal and co-star – was\u00a0axed from the show\u00a0and\u00a0ITV\u00a0more widely after\u00a0admitting to an\u00a0affair with a much younger male colleague.<\/p>\n

At Tuesday's National Television Awards Holly, 42 – dressed in a stunning lilac dress – addressed a tricky few months to The Sun.<\/p>\n

Speaking at London's O2 Arena, she candidly opened up on This Morning's show future and said: "If I'm honest it's been really up and down. <\/p>\n

"But what's lovely is people rallying around you. The support is there. People want us to do well. It all feels good again.<\/p>\n

"I just want to the future to continue as it is. We are very blessed we have a great team of people we really do.<\/p>\n

"I know there's been a lot of talk about things and for me personally, I don't want to speak on behalf of other people, it's a world I don't recognise.<\/p>\n

"For me, I look around and see the team getting ready and giving it all. I just want to come to work and have more of that."<\/p>\n

She faced more awkward moments in the huge south east London venue as This Morning was booed by fans.<\/p>\n

Holly's frank words came after it was revealed Phillip had unfollowed her on Instagram – before she posted a lengthy message about "releasing negativity" and "new beginnings."<\/p>\n

Holly returned to\u00a0This Morning\u00a0this week following a seven-week summer break.<\/p>\n

Yet her comeback didn't go down well with some fans, who\u00a0blasted the show's "worst opening ever."<\/p>\n

She made her return following the turmoil that engulfed\u00a0This Morning\u00a0in the\u00a0spring.<\/p>\n

On Monday, The Sun exclusively revealed how axed anchor\u00a0Phil was soaking up the sunshine at the pub\u00a0as the episode aired.<\/p>\n

A host of stand-in presenters filled in for Holly during the summer break, including Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle and Andi Peters.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Alison will be replaced by Craig as the popular Irish anchor takes the reigns.<\/p>\n
