ROCHELLE Humes has broken her silence on Phillip Schofield's dramatic This Morning exit.

The Saturdays star, 34, sent Phil, 61 - who was axed from the ITV morning show last week - "big love" in an emotional Instagram post.

On Saturday, Phillip's statement was released in full.

Since then, stars including Amanda Holden have taken cryptic swipes at Phil - while co-star Holly Willoughby issued a lukewarm farewell message.

Yet Up singer Rochelle - who has co-presented This Morning with Phil previously - shared a few happy snaps of their memories.

She uploaded some images of them on-set giggling on the sofa and fooling around in a beauty segment.

In her caption, she wrote: "I've proudly been part of the This Morning family for almost 10 years and over the last few, it has been an absolute pleasure learning so much from you.

"Thanks for all the lessons - you are a fountain of knowledge and laughter."

Rochelle finished off her message by tagging Phil's Instagram page and adding a loved-up emoji.

It came as The Sun revealed Phil had been left "completely broken" from the axing.

Meanwhile Phil's close friendship with Rochelle is said to be at the heart of his bad feeling with Amanda - who confirmed her feud with Phillip on her radio show.

The star clashed with Phil after she believed he got her axed from This Morning.

She was set to fill in for Holly while the mum of three was away hosting I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2018, but the offer was withdrawn at the last minute.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge thought Phil was behind her missing out on the coveted role — which instead went to former girlband star Rochelle.
