This was quite the contrast to a social media post she shared in May in which she referenced the ongoing Phil and This Morning controversy.
Hours after Phil’s affair was made public, she wrote: "Unexpected calls from old mates are so lovely. Just had the loveliest catch up with @EamonnHolmes . I think we have known each
