Phillip Schofield’s colleagues have said that the This Morning star has become “increasingly withdrawn” and said that we’re “worried” about him. In recent days there have been reports that Phillip has had a fallout with his best pal and co-host Holly Willoughby, whom he’s presented This Morning with for 14 years. It’s believed what started the tension between the pair was Phillip’s brother Timothy Schofield’s sexual abuse trial, that saw Phillip off air for a number of weeks while his sibling’s trial got underway.
Timothy went on to be found guilty of sexually abusing a teenage boy over a three-year period, as is due to be sentenced this week. Following the past few weeks that Phillip himself said “haven’t been easy”, the 61 year old has reportedly become “a shell of himself”. An unnamed colleague told The Mirror: “He is becoming increasingly withdrawn and almost a shell of himself.
He seems down and spends a lot of time in his dressing room. We’re worried about him.” OK! has contacted This Morning and Phillip’s representatives for comment. But, despite apparently becoming withdrawn, Phillip was all smiles on Monday, 15 May, as he reunited with Holly on-screen for their usual hosting duties.
While the pair putting on a chummy display, This Morning viewers weren’t buying it. One person tweeted: “Then atmosphere between the two hosts on #ThisMorning is awful but good viewing [laughing emoji]." Another wrote: "#ThisMorning clearly has an atmosphere that could be cut with a knife." "Well this is awkward! All a bit dead behind the eyes with fake smiles," added a third. Elsewhere, body language expert Judi James said Phillip put on a "bravado" while hosting yesterday’s show.
