Holly and Phil take selfies as they brush off 'complaints' row
by Sarah DeenPhillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby spent Monday’s This Morning taking selfies together at a Christmas fair as they continued to brush off the ‘complaints’ row currently surrounding the pair.
Reports over the weekend alleged that some presenters have ‘complained about Phil’s behaviour’.
The pair’s working relationship is also said to have become ‘strained over recent months’, The Sun has claimed.
But there were no signs of any strain as the presenters took a ride on a Ferris wheel during Monday’s episode of This Morning.
Wrapped up warm against the chilly December weather, Holly and Phil posed for selfies on the wheel as today’s installment got started.
Over the course of the two hour show they were joined by celebrity guests such as Aled Jones, Russell Watson and Martin Lewis.
Neither of the presenters, who are famously close and often go on holiday together, addressed the allegations about Phil on the programme.
According to The Sun a handful of ITV faces have spoken about the alleged ‘toxic’ atmosphere behind the scenes.
Loose Women panelist Ruth Langsford, who hosts This Morning with husband Eamonn Holmes on Fridays, is reported to have made an official complaint about the 5 Gold Rings presenter.
It comes after Amanda Holden weighed in about what was going on during her show with Jamie Theakston on Heart Breakfast.
The Britain’s Got Talent star insisted she had put any issues with Phil behind her, however she did appear to back Ruth.
She said: Listen, I’ve drawn a line under all those issues with Phillip.
‘Well, I’m just gonna say that I really admire anyone who sticks up for themselves because it’s not an easy thing to do.
‘There is a tin opener and there’s a can somewhere and other people have found the tin opener. That’s all I’m saying.’
Her comments followed rumours that Schofe ‘blocked’ Amanda from replacing Holly on This Morning when she joined Dec Donnelly on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! last year.
Instead Phil was joined by Rochelle Humes while Holly was away.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10.30am on ITV.
