ITV have 'confirmed' that Phillip Schofield will keep his "primetime TV show" despite his axe from This Morning yesterday.
The broadcaster took to its social media platform to detail reports that Phillip, 61, would "get his own" show.
Phillip was axed from This Morning minutes after coming off air on Thursday — coldly denying him the chance of a farewell to fans.
The host was in an office with show chief Martin Frizzell and told his contract, due to end this summer, was not being renewed.
Devastated Phil then drove 300 miles from London to Cornwall to see mum Pat, 85, where he spent Friday pouring his heart out to her on a coastal walk — as our exclusive pictures show.

His exit was confirmed yesterday, after weeks of intense speculation about his future and a feud with co-host Holly Willoughby.
The TV star was also expected to leave Dancing on Ice, which he and Holly have also presented together.
Yesterday, Phillip told fans in his statement that we would still host other ITV shows, including a new prime time programme.
“Phillip will continue to present peak time shows for ITV including next month's The British Soap Wards and a new prime time series,” the broadcaster shared.
Now, ITV have 'confirmed' that Phillip will keep the shows after fans and a former This Morning star speculated he might lose them.
Taking to their ITV News social media channel, the broadcaster penned: "Time's been called on this telly couple. Phillip Schofield's off This Morning.
"There were reports of reporter tension. Phillip will get his own primetime show."
It comes after Phillip looked gloomy yesterday as he was snapped on a tense phone after announcing his brutal axe from This Morning.
The TV presenter was given the chop minutes after coming off air on Thursday — coldly denying him the chance of a farewell to fans.
