Coronation Street star appears on This Morning after Phillip Schofield 'swipe' reaction

Coronation Street's Tina O'Brien appeared on today's edition of This Morning after reacting to Phillip Schofield's "dig".

ITV's flagship daytime programme has been hit with controversy since Phillip Schofield stepped away from the show. Mr Schofield first announced he had quit This Morning on May 20 amid reports an alleged feud with Holly Willoughby had reached fever pitch.

Amanda Holden took to social media in the immediate aftermath of Mr Schofield's announcement and posted a flexed bicep emoji. Amanda has previously addressed her feud with Mr Schofield and many fans claimed this was a reference to his exit.

Charlotte said: "Phillip? What is going on?" Justin posted: "You would be a good replacement"

Roisin commented: "Suspect it’s a dig at Philip Schofield" Karen added: "Get Amanda back to host."

The post has received 8,665 likes, which includes likes from Corrie stars Tina O'Brien and Julia Goulding. ITV has since been further rocked as Mr Schofield stepped away from the channel permanently as he admitted having an affair with a runner while working on the show.

Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary fronted today's edition of This Morning. The presenters introduced a segment live from the Coronation Street where Sharon Marshall interviewed stars for soap week.

Tina was one of the stars interviewed who spoke about her explosive storyline with Damon Hay. She said: "As an actress it's always fun to play different parts.

"In the past, Adam has always been the one who has crossed certain lines and now it's her having the naughty times. It's been good fun."
