This Morning’s Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby went to Keith Lemon’s birthday party and ‘didn’t talk all night’
THIS Morning co-stars Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby went to Keith Lemon’s birthday bash, but “didn’t talk all night.”
Celebrity Juice presenter Keith was joined by a flock of his famous pals to celebrate the milestone birthday as he turned 50 last month.
Of course, he had his former Celeb Juice co-hosts on there, as Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton both attended with their husbands Dan and Jesse in tow.
Phillip Schofield and his whole family attended, with the This Morning star dressing as Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy – but he and Holly ‘failed to talk.’
A source explained: “There have been tensions between Phil and Holly for months.
“They recently went to Keith Lemon’s birthday party and they didn’t talk all night.”
They continued to tell New: “Holly also presented This Morning with Alison Hammond and it made her realise she’s her own person and doesn’t need Phil by her side. They’re not Ant and Dec.
“She did Wim Hof’s Freeze The Fear without Phil and she’s in talks to present other shows on her own.”
Holly and Phil’s working relationship has come under scrutiny after it was revealed they have had a huge falling out and Holly had ‘cut ties’ with her co-host.
The presenting duo, who have put on a united front amid their huge fallout, were overcome with emotion live on air yesterday as Holly gushed about “good people” – but fans branded the tense show “unpleasant” to watch as the duo “avoided making eye contact”.
One fan said: “Switched on to see what happened today but ITV need to sort out. It’s not pleasant watching and the advertisers will drop ITV if they haven’t got a voice !”
This Morning regulars have threatened to boycott the show amid Holly and Phillip’s feud, according to reports.
The former pals might have put on a brave face for the cameras on today’s show, but some of their co-stars are refusing to do the same.
One prominent show celeb, told the Mail: “It is absolutely disgusting that ITV takes the moral high ground over lots of issues, but then continues to give their major daily presenting slot to Phillip, despite the tonne of complaints that have been made against him.
“Lots of us have now told our agents that we will not be appearing on This Morning while he is still there.”
The duo refused to address growing doubts over their future during their incredibly awkward return to This Morning.
