Holly Willoughby breaks This Morning 'feud' silence with lengthy statement to fans

Holly Willoughby has released a lengthy statement to fans about a future 'filled with joy, love, and endless possibility,' as rumours continue to rum,blew of a feud between her and This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield.

Speculation has been rife for the last week that there's been a 'falling out' between the two presenters, who have famously been just as close off screen as they have been in front of cameras for their decade hosting the ITV daytime show together,. It was Holly who Phillip gave his first emotional interview to, minutes after his very public coming out in February 2020, with her being incredibly supportive to him.

However, it has been widely reported that Phillip and Holly now have a much more 'strained relationship' with their respective prolonged absences from the show last month doing little to dampen the speculation.

Last week, Phillip hit back at reports of a feud with Holly in a statement which he described Holly as his 'rock,' adding that he'd also been there for her during difficult times.

On Monday, millions of viewers tuned into This Morning to see the two hosts put on a united front as they failed to address talk of a rift and, taking a very different approach to Phillip, Holly, who runs lifestyle brand Wylde Moon, put out a statement to fans about trying to stay positive.

In the lengthy newsletter sent to subscrive3rs, she wrote: ""The older I get, the more I appreciate how daunting the concept of time passing can be.

"I can always remember my nan saying things like ‘wait ‘til you get to my age…then it really starts flying by’– and I now I really get it. If this resonates with you, I wanted to share some advice one of my friends gave me when we were talking about this exact thing.

"She told me that instead of worrying how quickly it’s going, we should look at things differently and appreciate that with every moment (big or small) that passes, we're creating a future filled with joy, love, and endless possibility. If we can remember to reflect on just how lucky we are to be making all these memories, the passage of time can feel really positive."

Holly added: "This week, we are graced with a magnificent New Moon, heralding a period of rejuvenation. It’s the perfect time to establish new affirmations, construct vision boards, and dedicate your attention to manifesting your goals. Allow the creative energies to surge within you, and stretch your imagination to embrace its most extravagant dreams."

Holly was back alongside Phillip to front Tuesday's This Morning, as bookies slashed odds on Phillip leaving the show by the end of the week.
