Billie Faiers has shared her annoyance at Phillip Schofield after appearing to claim her 'appearance' on a recent episode of This Morning was ruined by the host. The former The Only Way is Essex star has spoken out on her podcast which she hosts with sister Samantha.
It comes after Billie's new homeware collection Chapter B for Next had a scheduled appearance on the show as part of the This Morning's 'Lust List' during last Thursday's episode (February 23). However, Billie felt the products didn't quite get the moment they deserved as chaos ensued.
As they moved on to the Chapter B items, Phillip, 60, revealed a vase has been smashed off camera and footage of the broken pieces being swept up was shown to viewers. The host joked: "It was Matt who dropped it. He dropped it and you heard him drop, then kick it two or three times in the air. It took hours for it to smash!"
Sitting down with Sam for the latest episode of their The Sam and Billie Show podcast, Billie explained: "So my little 30 second feature for my homeware collection was completely taken away from me because Phil decided to bring up the smashed vase that happened in rehearsal so the camera went to that and then next thing you know, they move on to the next one."
She added: "I was so irritated because I thought why aren't they just like actually talking about the nice things that were in front of them?" Sam then said that she thinks Phil has "got it in for" her sister after a previous This Morning appearance when he quizzed her on how much her lavish wedding to husband Greg Shephard in 2019 cost.
Billie then added of her This Morning disappointment: "I don't know if it was intentional. I was just so bugged out because I thought oh, now they're on the next thing would have said it." The Manchester Evening News has contacted This Morning for comment.
The mum-of-three also said she felt "irritated" by the snub and felt "silly" as she couldn't post the This Morning feature on her Instagram to which Sam joked: "You should post it put a big thumbs up and say, 'Thanks, Phil for highlighting the fact that one of your staff members smashed my vase in rehearsals.'"
The segment Billie was referring to saw Bryony Blake flanked by an array of different products, ranging from beauty bargains, to a new range of Heinz condiments. She wrapped up her appearance with a look at the new homeware collection from the Mummy Diaries star, which also included cushions and cocktail glasses.
As Phillip explained that someone had smashed the vase, Bryony admitted that she thought something would end up being broken, while adding: "He tried so hard to save it!" She didn't actually name the This Morning crew member responsible for the broken vase, but, Phillip was much more forthcoming, adding: "It was Matt who dropped it. He dropped it and you heard him drop, then kick it two or three times in the air. It took hours for it to smash!"
