Holly Willoughby returned to social media on Monday morning (May 15) ahead of her planned appearance on This Morning. ITV confirmed that she and Phillip Schofield will kick off the week on the daytime show despite the pair reportedly being in crisis behind the scenes.
The presenting duo, who have fronted the show together for 14 years, are reportedly '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 in which he defended his relationship with Holly, 42, who he continued to claim is his 'rock'.
