"Phillip has been flying the flag for Holly for a while but hasn't been getting the feeling that anyone was listening.
"So he decided to take it to the top. Like everyone else, he has been reading in the papers about potential replacements but he's not crazy about any of them.
"He wants them to make a decision - and appoint Holly."
A replacement for Britton, 51, who will leave the daytime show next month, is due to be announced in the next two weeks.
Stars already considered to co-present with Schofield include Davina McCall, Ruth Langsford, Kate Garraway, Gaby Roslin and Natasha Kaplinsky.
