Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield 'cancel annual holidays together amid feud'

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have reportedly cancelled their annual holidays together.

The presenting duo are thought to not have been seeing eye to eye the last few weeks as Phil released a shocking statement.

The pair usually to go on annual trips together with their families but this won't be happening this year, according to reports.

Last week Phillip released a statement where he seemed to confirm their feud.

He explained that the last few weeks "haven't been easy" for them.

He said: "The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us," the 61 year old said. "As I have said before, Holly is my rock.

"We’re the best of friends – as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone."

Phillip added to The Sun : "Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I’ve been there for her."

Despite Phil saying Holly was his "rock" in the statement, it is said to have blindsided her, with sources saying that the mum-of-three wasn't aware Phil was going to release a statement at all.

Phil is said to have confronted Holly after the statement which reportedly resulted in a tense talk.

It has been reported that if Phillip was to leave This Morning that Holly would be prepared to go ahead alone.

Speaking to the Mirror, insiders claim that things have only got worse.

One mole said: "This Morning's relationship with its viewers is built on trust, and they have to believe that Holly and Phil’s friendship, and what they're watching, is real.

"While there was a bit of noise and speculation about their relationship cooling, it could have easily been ignored.

"But by putting this statement out there, he has turned what was a manageable situation into a feeding frenzy. If viewers now no longer believe in the pair, and make their views clear next week, make no mistake, ITV will act.

"Phil’s position is looking increasingly precarious. Monday is very much D-day, but the same could apply to any day next week. No one is bigger than the brand."

The Mirror have contacted Holly and Phil's reps for comment.
