This Morning's Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield could soon be reunited

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby may be brought back together amid rumours of a "rift".

Phillip announced he was stepping down from presenting the ITV talk show with "immediate effect" after more than 20 years on the programme over the weekend. Holly who has hosted alongside Schofield since 2009, will remain on the show but has taken early half-term holiday leave, with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary continuing to fill in for the pair on Tuesday.

Days after his exit, it was announced both Phillip and Holly are among 50 names longlisted for the NTA presenter prize, alongside their fellow This Morning presenters Alison and Dermot.

This Morning has also been longlisted in the daytime category after winning the award last year, competing alongside shows including Good Morning Britain, Loose Women and Lorraine. The NTA longlist also saw Dame Deborah James and Paul O'Grady posthumously recognised.

With a double This Morning nomination, Holly and Phillip could be reunited on stage at the NTAs, with the star-studded ceremony taking place in September.

Host Joel Dommett, who has also had presenting stints on This Morning, will be back to lead the celebrations at London's OVO Arena, Wembley.
