Holly Willoughby has said she was left hurt by rumours she was set to leave This Morning.
The TV star has hosted the show alongside Phillip Schofield since 2009, taking over the role as his co-host from Ferne Britton.
There were reports that Holly, 40, was on the verge of leaving the show due to a row over earning with her former agents.
However, it was later suggested the presenter was going nowhere and that her place on the ITV daytime show has been secured for another two years.

Appearing on the Jonathon Ross Show, which airs this Saturday, Holly spoke about rumours that are written about her leaving This Morning.
It came up as she and her fellow guests discussed retirement.
"I never think like that. I feel very lucky to be on that show," the mum-of-three said. "The show changes so much, I think that’s the beauty of This Morning.
"Recently it’s had the highest ratings it’s had in 15 years. It’s doing really, really well which is extraordinary for a show that’s been around for as long as it has. And I think because it changes and it evolves and it adapts.
"But I think that show has something to teach us a little bit; as long as we keep evolving and changing and moving on and happy to flow with things…"
It has also been reported that Alison Hammond was set to replace Holly, a suggestion the Friday This Morning presenter denied.
Holly went on: "I'm very lucky to work with Phil. I can’t imagine a world without him being there. It just wouldn’t be the same. The magic of that show is us two together when we’re together.
"Fridays are different - Dermot and Alison have their own unique magic. Co-hosts like that don’t come along very often. So when they do you have to hold tight."
Speaking further about her long-term co-star and friend, Holly slammed the 'unfair and untrue' rumours.
She added of Phil: "I do really love him. I really love him. We’re lucky, we really are. I’ve read those things, too.
"It hurts sometimes, because it’s so unfair and untrue, so it’s difficult sometimes.
"We’re just incredibly lucky. So no, I’m not retiring, that’s a really long answer."
The Jonathan Ross Show airs on Saturday at 10.05pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
