THIS Morning was booed by fans inside the NTAs tonight as Holly Willoughby watched the show lose out after the Phillip Schofield scandal.

The ITV daytime show had been nominated alongside Loose Women, The Chase and The Repair Shop, but didn't come out victorious.

Instead, the BBC workshop programme took home the gong with Jay Blades fronting the winner's speech.

An audience member inside The O2 provided The Sun with footage of the booing, but only cheers could be heard in the ITV broadcast.

Drama has engulfed the programme in recent months, with ITV bosses facing questions in Parliament over alleged “toxic” conditions backstage after the Phillip Schofield scandal.

Viewers bashed Holly over her handling of the saga at the time.

Now, the fallout has seen fans vote for bubbly Alison as Best TV Presenter instead, leaving Holly off the shortlist for the second year running.

Last year, Phil and Holly plus Friday presenters Dermot O’Leary and Alison went on stage to collect the gong.

But Alison ended up with the microphone.

Phil, 61, who resigned from the show after admitting to an affair with a young runner, is also out in the cold.

Instead Alison, 48, will compete with Bradley WalshClaudia WinklemanMartin Lewis and Ant and Dec — the Geordie duo have scooped the award 21 times.

A TV source said: “It’s hard to see a time when Ant and Dec don’t scoop the presenter gong at the NTAs. But behind them, the shortlist has become a battleground all of its own. Holly was last nominated in 2021 but she and Phil missed out in 2022.

“Holly would never expect to beat Ant and Dec but everyone had hoped her loyalty to This Morning and resilience would pay off with a nod this year. After all, she hasn’t done anything wrong.

“It’ll be a huge blow for her that Alison is the golden girl that’s emerged glowing from the wreckage of This Morning."
