Holly Willoughby has broken her silence amid her rumoured feud with Phillip Schofield.
The This Morning presenter took to Instagram for the first time this weekend to wish her sister a happy birthday amid reports her relationship with Phil is in tatters.
"It’s this Beautiful human’s birthday… have the greatest day today and always…I love you so much @ladywilloughby…" she posted.
The happy photo of Holly smiling sweetly with her lookalike sister is a far cry from the storm surrounding This Morning.
Concerned fans took the opportunity to send Holly messages of support as they took to the comments.
"I only came over here to say that if the rumours are true, do not let anyone move you out of a job. Keep going Holly and happy birthday to your beautiful sister," one fan wrote.
And Holly sister sent her own message of support, adding: "Ahhhhhh. Side by side always. Love you."
Earlier today, ITV confirmed that Holly and Phil will be back on the This Morning sofa as usual tomorrow.
It had been reported that Holly was so "upset" about their rumoured feud that she could be absent from work on Monday morning.
But ITV officially confirmed to the Mirror: "Holly and Phillip will be back on the sofa tomorrow."
It will be a case of grin and bear it for the veteran TV hosts who have faced a number of controversies in recent months.
Low points include queue skipping to see the late Queen lying in state and Phil taking time away from This Morning while his brother was on trial for sex crimes.
Holly was absent when Phil finally returned to screens and it emerged this weekend that Holly has reportedly cut ties with her longtime TV co-host and close friend.
The Mirror exclusively reported last night that she'd been pushing for ITV to make a decision on Schofield so she can rebrand herself and plan for the future if needs be.
But it seems the presenting duo are sticking together for now and will attempt to weather the storm.
The pair have had an impressive 14-year run of presenting This Morning together.
And Phil was instrumental in taking Holly's career to the next level, insisting the then 28-year-old join him at the helm.
When Fern Britton announced she was stepping down from ITV's flagship daytime show in March 2009, a frantic search began to find her replacement.
Phillip claimed Holly was "at the top of everybody's list to pick up where Fern leaves off" and the "number one choice".
But it later transpired he was a lone voice in suggesting she should get the presenting gig.
She was written off by critics claiming she would be '"unable to interview a Prime Minister".
Speaking on Elizabeth Day's podcast How To Fail in November last year, Holly explained: "If it wasn't for Phil, I wouldn't be on This Morning now because everyone around him at the time when he suggested my name, were like, 'What? No! She might be alright in the fashion bit but there’s no way she could interview the Prime Minister…'"
It seems like it might be time for Holly to return to favour and stand by her pal's side.
