Holly Willoughby puts her Phillip Schofield woes behind her to fly to Glastonbury

Holly Willoughby has put the drama of her recent fall-out with Phillip Schofield behind her, as she boarded a helicopter to fly to ‘the wokest Glastonbury ever’ on Friday.

The This Morning presenter was joined by her husband Dan Baldwin as they headed up to a landing pad, after her former co-host stepped down from ITV, as he admitted to having an affair with a much younger male This Morning colleague.

Holly was perfectly dressed for a day at the festival, donning a striped fringed jacket, denim cut-off shorts and lace-up boots.

She and Dan were joined by two pals as they boarded the helicopter for the festival, which will see headliners Arctic Monkeys take to the Pyramid Stage on its first night. 

Phillip, 61, resigned from the channel and was dropped by his agency YMU after admitting to an ‘unwise, but not illegal’ affair with a younger male colleague.

Since returning to This Morning on June 5, Holly has brushed off the drama surrounding Phillip’s exit and has presented This Morning with a rotation of co-hosts.

The star appeared to be in good spirits as she prepared to make her way to Worthy Farm, joining thousands descending on Somerset for the annual event.

Also spotted at the annual event was Cruz Beckham, who enjoyed lunch at the VIP area of the festival with his girlfriend Tana Holding.

Despite building excitement among fans for this year’s festival, it has been deemed wokest ever, as Gen Zers shun the usual warm-up DJ sets and bands for political debates after a series of group workout sessions.

Hundreds of people were seen taking part in organised runs or a 30-minute workout session, led live by Joe Wicks, instead of heading straight for the stages or alcohol tents. 

Health conscious Gen Zers were also seen shaking up the festivities with cold outdoor showers, stretches and even a group jog. 

The organised run, which saw around 200 people take part, stretched for around 5km as joggers pounded through the fields while others slept off their hangovers.

And then rather than the customary ‘baby wipe’ bath, young people could be seen having showers near their tents, to ensure they feel and look fresh for the day.

Gen Z attendees – known for their health conscious lifestyles – didn’t head straight for the beers either.

The longest queues by far this morning were for artisan coffee.

Crowds then also gathered for Joe Wicks’ Glastonbury workout this morning – a 30 minute HIIT exercise class.

Alternative health solutions are also being widely promoted: including a tent charging £15 for attendees to lie upside down in an attempt to help ease back problems.

Glastonbury- which takes place from June 21-25 at Somerset’s Worthy Farm, will see the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age, Skepta and The Chemical Brothers joining the already confirmed headline acts.

Glastonbury’s other headliners are Guns and Roses on Saturday, and Elton John on Sunday, in what will be his final UK show.

The Other Stage will be headlined by Wizkid, Lana Del Rey and Queens of the Stone Age over Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Elton John will perform on the Pyramid Stage on Worthy Farm, the stage was first set up in 1971 and has held some impressive acts. 

Glastonbury Festival described the stage as ‘the most instantly recognised festival stage in the world’. 

The iconic stage has had quite the line-up featuring: The Rolling Stones, Radiohead, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Shirley Bassey and many more. 

Holly returned to This Morning on June 5 after the show was embroiled in the scandal of Phillip’s affair confession.

Upon her return, the star issued a lengthy statement addressing her longtime presenter partners’ exit,  

She began: ‘Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you OK? I hope so.’ 

Holly stated it ‘feels very strange indeed sitting here without Phil and I imagine that you might have been feeling a lot like I have. Shaken, troubled, let down, worried for the wellbeing of people on all sides of what’s been going on and full of questions’.

‘All of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth, who acted in a way that they themselves felt they had to resign from ITV and step down from a career that they loved. That is a lot to process’.

She added: ‘It’s equally hard to see the toll it’s taken on their own mental health. I think what unites us all now is a desire to heal for the health and wellbeing of everyone. 

‘I hope that as we start this new chapter and get back to a place of warmth and magic that the show holds for all of us, we can find strength in each other.

‘And from the heart, can I just say thank you for all your kind messages and thank you for being here this morning. Myself, Josie, Dermot, Alison, Craig and every single person that works on this show will continue to work hard every day.’ 

In a bombshell statement to the Daily Mail, Phillip admitted that he and the man began a relationship that was more than a friendship. The ex-TV presenter describes this as ‘unwise but not illegal’. 

Phillip’s extraordinary statement concluded weeks of increasingly fevered speculation in both the TV industry and the wider country about the future of his career, following his sudden departure from the This Morning sofa.

It also came in the wake of speculation that he and Holly were ‘barely speaking’ away from the This Morning cameras, after he failed to tell her that his brother Timothy was going on trial for sex offences.

On Thursday, Phillip broke cover for the first time in a month to celebrate his mother’s birthday – having addressed his affair in two public interviews.

The inappropriate relationship led to serious questions being asked about how much ITV bosses knew – and the network’s chief Dame Carolyn McCall admitted last week that she failed to launch a formal investigation when rumours emerged of the affair.
