Holly Willoughby looks glum as she’s seen for the first time since ‘cutting ties’ with Phillip Schofield
HOLLY Willoughby looked downcast as she stepped out for the first time amid reports she has 'cut ties' with her This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield.
The 42 year-old presenter appeared deep in thought as she ran some errands in Hampshire, keeping her eyes covered in a pair of black sunglasses.
At one point she had her head buried in her phone and seemed distracted as she walked down the street.
Holly sported her blonde tresses tied back and sported a camel coloured trench coat paired with frayed jeans and white trainers.
The outfit was finished off with a Gucci horsebit leather shoulder bag, worth an impressive £2,500.
Her outing comes amid reports Holly has 'cut ties' with Phillip and brought their 15-year friendship to an end.
