Eagle eyed fans have spotted Holly Willoughby has wiped Phillip Schofield's name from her social as their friendship 'cools'.
The pair have presented ITV show This Morning together for several years, with Phil last night admitting that "the last few weeks haven't been easy for either" of them and he has always been grateful for the support of Holly and everyone around him.
In an emotional statement, Phil described Holly as his "best friend" as he admitted his family went through a "real ordeal". He was referencing his brother Timothy Schofield being found guilty of sexually abusing a teenage boy over a period of three years.
Now eagle eyed Twitter users have noticed Holly has wiped Phil from her Twitter bio, where she previously had written: "I was introduced to this by a Twitter legend," before tagging her presenting partner.
Her Twitter bio now reads: "Broadcaster, Founder of Wyldemoon, Brand ambassador for Marks & Spencer and Garnier, Author of Reflections," something that didn't slip past her and Phil's viewers.
It is not known when the change was made, but amid the claims their friendship is struggling and that the pair are now "separate entities", fans have been taking to social media themselves to note the big change.
"Didn’t Holly’s twitter bio say something about being introduced to Twitter by ‘a legend’ (ie Phil), now it’s not there…" one wrote, as a second added: "Loads of reports that they've both fallen out and don't talk anymore. Holly's also removed the mention of Phil."
Phil released a bombshell statement last night where he admitted things hadn't been "easy" for the pair but praised her "incredible" support, as he told The Sun: "The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us.
"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. Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I’ve been there for her."
The pair put on a united front to host yesterday's This Morning together, but body language expert Judi James exclusively told The Mirror that there was some tension between the duo, whilst Phil gave off an air of defiance and dimissal.
"Phil and Holly’s body language lacked synchronicity this morning and the differences did seem like a non-verbal response to the fresh rumours of a rift. Phil hit the ground running and his displays looked very much like a message of defiance and dismissal," she said.
"He was in party mood from the start, pulling faces as he swung his arms to Lulu’s Eurovision song. Holly joined in with less enthusiasm, like the grown-up at the party. There was some biting of his lower lip and tensing of the top one to hint at strong inner emotions."
