It comes as a petition for the TV duo under fire to be fired from their lucrative presenting roles on This Morning and has reached more than 50,000 signatures.

A former daytime TV executive told The Sun: “Phillip actively campaigned for Rochelle, 30, to get the job even though Amanda had more experience, and was told privately that she would get the job.”
