Phillip Schofield is said to be back in touch with former This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby having offered her his support following reports that she was the planned target of a kidnap and murder plot.
Schofield and Willoughby were once best friends but had not spoken for five months after he sensationally quit the ITV daytime show after admitting to having had an “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a younger colleague which he lied about.
