Holly Willoughby fights back tears over Phillip Schofield amid rift rumours
Holly Willoughby fought back tears as she opened up about Philip Schofield and her role on This Morning amid rumours of a rift between her and her co-host.
According to reports by The Sun, the telly duo’s relationship has become “strained” in recent months.
But Holly put any rumours of drama between the pair to bed when she began swooning over her love for the role on the ITV chat show, as they came together for the launch of Dancing On Ice last night.
Tearing up in a chat with Metro, Holly said, “Phil and I met on this show. There’s a lot of history. You’re going to set me off.

As Hol continued to well up, Phillip cheekily joked, “You’re not pregnant are you?”
