This Morning’s Phillip Schofield branded ‘obnoxious, horrible man’ who ‘should not be on television’ by iconic TV star
THIS Morning’s Phillip Schofield has been labelled “obnoxious” and “horrible” by one of the UK’s most iconic telly stars.
Kim Woodburn launched a scathing attack on the 61-year-old presenter amid the latest claims of a fallout with his co-host Holly Willoughby.
The outspoken How Clean Is Your House star, 81, claimed Phillip ‘absolutely sniggered’ at her during an appearance on This Morning.
Speaking on GB News, Kim said: “I have had so many run-ins. He is an obnoxious, horrible man and I don’t know why he’s still on television.
“I went on his show and he insulted me, he was rude, he was horrible. He was laughing at me – he was absolutely sniggering at me.”
Former I’m A Celebrity star Kim then claimed to presenter Dan Wootton that Phillip ‘deliberately’ failed to help with tickets to watch Dancing On Ice.
“I couldn’t get in to see my friend skating recently,” Kim said. “He said, ‘Would you come on the night?’ I said, ‘Certainly I will’.
“And then it turned out that Phillip did not want me on the show because he would go among the audience and chat, and if I was in the front row, he thought I might say something to him.
“I wouldn’t – it was my friend’s show. But that’s how hard it’s got. And that’s how powerful he is.”
Sticking the knife in further, Kim added: “He should not be on television. He is a cruel, brutal, little man and he’s full of himself.”
It was previously reported that Kim had her invite to Dancing On Ice ‘revoked’ after she criticised Phillip and Holly for the ‘queue-gate’ saga ahead of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral last year.
The Sun Online has contacted Phillip’s rep for comment following Kim’s outburst.
Meanwhile, last night Phillip released a statement as he broke his silence on his crumbling relationship with Holly.
Pouring out his heart, Phil said: “As I have said before, Holly is my rock.
“We’re the best of friends — as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone.
“Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I’ve been there for her.
“The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us.”
Phil took three weeks off the show in March as his brother Timothy Schofield, 54, was convicted of child sex offences.
He is due to be sentenced next week. Phil’s statement added: “My family went through a real ordeal.
“And Holly’s support throughout meant the world to me, as did the support of my bosses at ITV, my editor Martin Frizell and the whole This Morning family, including our amazing viewers.
“And of course Holly has herself been ill with shingles.
“Whatever happens, we still have each other to count on.”
