Controversial ex This Morning star says Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield ‘hate each other’s guts’ in shock outburst
CONTROVERSIAL ex This Morning star Katie Hopkins has claimed that Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield ‘hate each other’s guts’ in a shock outburst.
The 48-year-old, who used to be a sofa regular on the ITV show, has given her opinion on the drama between the co-stars.
Last week The Sun exclusively revealed that Holly and Phillip are barely speaking off camera, with insiders saying their 14-year relationship has “cooled” as issues have “rumbled for some time” on the ITV show.
Then on Thursday night Philip, 61, made an extraordinary last-ditch attempt to save his This Morning partnership with Holly, 42.
Since then fans have been invested in what is going on between the pair.
Speaking about their ongoing feud, Katie said: “I’m sure I speak for many people when I say that I’m just sending so much to Holly and Phil at this very, very difficult time because it’s so hard, isn’t it…
“To pretend to like someone when actually you hate their guts and you’re really just waiting for that moment when you get in the car alone and shut the car doors when you can really kick off and tell them what you really think.”
Between 2013 and 2015 Katie appeared on This Morning in 15 episodes.
Last week Phillip released a statement to The Sun in a last-ditch attempt to save his This Morning partnership.
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.
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.”
