Holly Willoughby has stayed calm and graceful, even though Phillip Schofield has made some jabs at her in his messy return to TV.
Phillip Schofield, who used to be Holly’s co-host on “This Morning, came back to TV after being away for 16 months. He appeared on a new show called “Cast Away” on Channel 5, where he spent 10 days on a deserted island off the coast of Madagascar.
However, things didn’t go well for him. The show has been called a disaster, with people criticizing it for low ratings and saying that Phillip seemed more focused on feeling sorry for himself than taking responsibility for his actions.
Back in May 2023, Schofield admitted that he had an affair with a much younger colleague and lied about it, which damaged his career and reputation.
Even though he said the affair was “unwise but not illegal,” he doesn’t seem to fully understand how serious and damaging it was.
In the first episode of “Cast Away”, Phillip and his family seemed to make fun of Holly Willoughby. They brought up her famous line, “Are you ok?”, which she had said on her first day back on “This Morning” after Phillip left. Phillip and his family laughed about it during a dinner scene, showing that they weren’t taking things seriously and possibly trying to mock Holly.
While Phillip used the episode to lash out at people in the TV industry, Holly stayed silent and didn’t respond to his comments. Instead, she made it clear that she had better things to do.
She posted a picture on social media showing that she was supporting her friend Tamzin Outhwaite at a play called “Abigail’s Party” that evening. This subtle post sent the message that Holly wasn’t interested in watching Phillip’s new show or getting caught up in the drama.
Even though many people are curious to hear what Holly thinks about Phillip’s TV comeback, it’s unlikely she’ll say much. If asked, she might just give a simple answer like, “I didn’t watch it.
Their friendship, which was once very strong, seems to be over now. They co-hosted “This Morning” together for more than 10 years and were seen as best friends by the public.
Phillip even broke down in tears during a live broadcast when he came out as gay, with Holly by his side. However, it seems like those days are behind them, and their relationship has changed for good.
