This Morning’s Sharon Marshall issues apology after mistakenly announcing Coronation Street exit 

This Morning’s Sharon Marshall issued an apology to fans on Wednesday after the soap pundit mistakenly announced a Coronation Street exit on air.

During the show, the 51-year-old entertainment journalist joined hosts Holly Willoughby and Joel Dommett to discuss what viewers can expect from their favorite soap operas.

Sharon announced that actress Jodie Prenger would be leaving her role as Glenda Shuttleworth on Coronation Street.

The mistake went unnoticed for the rest of the ITV show, with Sharon later realizing her mistake and clarifying the news on Twitter.

‘I’m the biggest idiot! The iconic Jodie Prenger will NOT leave Corrie. Glenda stays,’ she later shared.

TV presenter Phillip, 60, usually fronts the show alongside Holly Willoughby, 42, from Monday to Thursday, but has been replaced so far this week by Alison Hammond, 48.

Masked Singer host Joel, 37, filled in for Phillip on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, with Phil returning on Monday, April 3.

It comes after Phil’s brother, Timothy Schofield, 54, went on trial this week on charges of sexually assaulting a schoolboy who allegedly made a confession to his famous brother.

Timothy allegedly had an ‘obsessive sexual interest’ in a teenager and traveled to the This Morning presenter’s house to confide in him.

His trial heard that when he told his brother, a television personality, that he and the boy performed a sexual act together, Phillip responded: ‘What did you say?’ And after the defendant described the ‘time’ he and his alleged victim spent together, the celebrity responded: ‘What the hell is [that]?’

Change: This Morning bosses have named Joel as Phillip Schofield’s replacement on This Morning while the host takes a break from the show.

The TV presenter told his brother it “should never happen again” and later gave a statement to police that he is part of the case against his younger brother, the court was told.

Timothy Schofield faces 11 counts of sex crimes allegedly committed against the boy over three years since October 2016. He denies all of them.

He is charged with forcing him to watch sexual acts and engage in sexual acts. He also allegedly performed sexual acts in front of the accuser.

Opening the case, prosecutor Robin Shellard said: “This is a case about Timothy Schofield’s obsessive sexual interest in [his alleged victim] and the subsequent sexual abuse of that adolescent.’
