Loose Women star Carol McGiffin has spoken out about This Morning host Phillip Schofield following rumours of a fall out between him and Holly Willoughby.
Carol, 63, branded him as "bl***y rude" amid his 'fued' with Holly Willoughby. This comes as the Loose Women star recently announced she was leaving the ITV show over "contract issues".
Speaking on GB News, she recalled a time when she was interviewed by Phillip on This Morning in 2010 to promote her book.

She told Dan Wooton: "He wasn’t very nice to be honest. He treated me like, 'Oh another loose woman with another book'. I kind of get that, but he was so not interested, it was a struggle. I was giggling, actually laughing because I couldn’t believe he was being so b****y rude."
The Daily Record writes that Carol later added that she'd heard some rumours of his behaviour in the industry as a "lot of stories about him being rather unpleasant to a lot of people, especially to a lot of people who were further down the food chain in TV."
Speaking about the rumoured fall out between the two hosts, she said: "They so clearly don’t get on anymore. I know they used to. I don’t know why one of them doesn’t just want to go," she remarked.
Carol said it would be good to see fresh faces on the show, as Holly and Phil have presented This Morning together since 2009. Phillip began hosting in 2002, and was joined by Holly seven years later when Fern Britton departed the ITV flagship show.
Carol said: "They’ve been there for so long, they can’t possibly need any more money, either of them. Give it up. You’ve had your time. Make way for somebody else who people actually like."
