Phillip Schofield appeared unhappy as he made his way to work on This Morning after rumors spread about problems between him and his co-presenter, Holly Willoughby. The 61-year-old TV star seemed stressed as he arrived at the ITV studios in London on Tuesday morning.
There are reports that the bosses of This Morning are having serious discussions about what to do with Holly and Phil because of their apparent disagreement. Holly and Phil have been friends and worked together for 17 years, but it’s been suggested that they are no longer talking to each other outside of work and have been avoiding each other at parties.
It seems that Holly was surprised and upset when Phil publicly talked about their friendship, responding to claims that they don’t get along off-camera. Even though Phil called Holly his “rock” and his “best friend,” saying that she supports him a lot, Holly didn’t know that he was going to talk about their rumored disagreement and it has deeply upset her.
After Holly presented This Morning by herself, sources say she is thinking about doing her own projects and doesn’t feel like she needs Phil as her partner anymore. There have been some issues recently, like when people got mad at them for cutting in line at an event and when Holly was upset because she didn’t know that Phil’s brother was in court for child sex charges. He was found guilty later on.
Someone who knows about the situation said that there have been problems between Holly and Phil for a while now. They mentioned that at Keith Lemon’s birthday party, Holly and Phil didn’t talk to each other the whole night. When Holly presented This Morning with Alison Hammond, she realized that she can do things on her own and doesn’t need Phil as much. The person also said that Holly and Phil can’t be compared to Ant and Dec, who are always together.
In 2019, their working relationship became difficult because Phil was jealous when Holly replaced Ant McPartlin on a TV show called I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. Some people said that Phil didn’t want Holly to talk about her other successful TV shows on This Morning, and he was unhappy when a newspaper published a story about Holly instead of him.
The tension between them got worse when Holly told Phil not to post videos of her drinking alcohol on his social media. Holly asked her management company to tell Phil about it. Back then, ITV, the TV network, said that the reports about their disagreement were untrue.
Even though Holly and Phil said before that they would leave This Morning if they had to work without each other, recent events suggest that things have changed.
Fans noticed that Holly removed mentions of Phillip from her social media. Before, her Twitter bio said that she was introduced to Twitter by a legend and mentioned Phil. Now, her bio focuses on her work as a broadcaster, her brand ambassador roles, and being an author. People who watch the show noticed this change.
