Phillip Schofield discusses the moment he found out he was fired from This Morning, blaming his firing on the fallout from the scandal involving his brother.
'I almost fainted,' she told me a week before she started on Britain's most prestigious daytime show in September 2009. 'I was in shock, I didn't see it coming. It's the best telly job ever.
But insiders also speculate that he lobbied for her because, in his eyes, the bubbly former children's television presenter would never threaten his position as the number one. Schofield sent the message on WhatsApp in May last year - just before he resigned after finally admitting his affair with a much-younger male colleague. He blamed Holly for not publicly backing him amid reports they had fallen out in the aftermath of his brother being found guilty of abusing a boy in April.Those close to Schofield have also said that privately he calls her the 'witch'.
'What will he come out with next? Holly has had the year from hell and this is the last thing she needs, months after someone was locked up for life for planning to kidnap, rape and murder her.' In public, Holly has kept a dignified silence about the latest stories. The worry, say friends, is that Phil thinks Holly started this row and will continue to find ways to get revenge.Back in 2019, they did a joint interview with The Sunday Times Magazine. On the cover it featured a mocked up crown on Holly's head - not Phil's. The headline read 'Queen Holly'.
While working on ITV's Loose Women, she had been snubbed by Schofield when she was cut off mid-link while explaining what was coming up on the show during a segment on This Morning. Amanda Holden fell out with Schofield when she didn't get to stand in for Holly during her time away hosting I'm a Celebrity in 2018
The segment was a genuine celebration full of smiles with the pair also pointing out how happy the Queen looked to be presenting him with the award. 'Phil would use the ad breaks to go on his phone, he would sit in silence but Eamonn and Ruth would chat to the crew and were always happy to record special video messages for their family and friends, whether it was a birthday or wedding. They were always more than happy to oblige and nothing was too much.
