Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby are missing from one of This Morning's social media pages. Schofield announced he was stepping down from ITV after admitting to having an affair with a younger male colleague.
This Morning's official Twitter page previously included a banner image of Phillip, Holly and Friday presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.
However, this has now been replaced with a generic ITV1 banner picture which displays none of the existing presenters.

It comes after Phillip, 61, broke his silence following his revelation about his affair and decision to part ways with ITV and also his management company.
The presenter admitted to an 'on-off relationship', describing it in a statement issued to a national newspaper as 'unwise, but not illegal'
Phillip spoke out a day after Dr Ranj blasted This Morning as 'toxic' after admitting he thought 'long and hard' about opening up on his own experience as a contributor on the ITV programme.
On Instagram he wrote: "Now I no longer work on this morning I am free to say this. I hope you have noticed that it’s the same handful of people with a grudge against me all the show who seem to have the loudest voice.
"This Morning is the best show to work on with the best people. In all the years I worked there, there was no toxicity.
"You can listen to those persistently loud voices if you like. But the thousands of guests over the years, thousands of staff and crew hundreds of presenters and contributors all now. It is a family of wonderful talented, kind hard-working people."
