Eamonn Holmes has taken aim at his former co-stars Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby amid continued reports that their friendship is on the brink. The This Morning favourites are reportedly in crisis after reports began to circulate that the pair were 'barely speaking' behind the scenes.
It was claimed that Phillip's pre-planned absence from the programme last month around his brother’s sex abuse trial contributed to a "cooling" of his friendship with Holly. But last week, the 61-year-old issued an unexpected statement.
Phillip told The Sun: "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." He added: "The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us."
