Dan Wooten clearly still has that axe to grind with ITV Daytime.  I suspect though there is some truth in Holly now being willing to continue This Morning without him rather than keeping their pact to leave together as frankly she has the next 20 years of her career to think about and history shows that women who step away from such shows in their 40s or later don't get many opportunities to maintain their career and profile.

Holly by her own admission turned down a lot of other TV work while her kids were still young but now they're older, she's know can pick and choose projects away from This Morning. 

I think Holly probably want to take helm of This Morning much like how in the US, Live With... started out as Regis Philbin's show but when he retired, it became Kelly Ripa's show.
