Phillip Schofield reignites his feud with Holly Willoughby as his texts and ‘witch’ nickname for his former friend are revealed along with the identity of his infamous ‘three s**ts of showbiz’
As a seasoned observer of the ever-changing landscape of showbiz, I must say that this latest drama surrounding Phil Schofield and his colleagues at ITV is as intriguing as it is unfortunate. Having spent my fair share of time navigating the treacherous waters of the television industry, I can empathize with Phil’s plight, knowing full well the power dynamics that often rule behind the scenes.
Phil Schofield faced accusations of being petty, as messages disclosed that he had expressed to Holly Willoughby that she was the reason for his fall, just prior to his departure from This Morning the previous year.
As a loyal supporter, I’ve learned that friends claim the controversial host privately messaged her on WhatsApp, accusing her, and urging her to publicly back him after our disagreement became public.
After that, he accused her of not fulfilling certain duties, stating this action led him to resign from the ITV show after a tenure of 21 years.
In an attempt to put an end to rumors suggesting a rift between them, Schofield, aged 62, requested from her a visible demonstration of solidarity – either a declaration or a joint photograph.
Yesterday’s disclosed message has once again sparked the ongoing dispute between the two, a conflict that initially ignited last spring following Schofield’s television return last week on Channel 5’s Cast Away.
One reason for their rift seemed to be that Ms. Willoughby, aged 43, lacked knowledge about the entirety of her brother Timothy’s criminal acts related to pedophilia.
Although they both knew about an upcoming trial in March, Schofill is believed not to have fully disclosed all the details to her.
One showbusiness insider said: ‘You can see what Phil is doing, he is angry and he is taking his moment in the limelight, slinging more mud while people are interested in him.
Phil’s professional journey came to an end due to his dishonesty; he left ITV after admitting to fabricating a relationship with a significantly younger coworker. Attributing that outcome to Holly’s actions is utterly unfounded.
‘Talk about blame the woman.’
Supporters of Ms. Willoughby note that she was proven right in her disagreement with Schofield, as it was revealed he had been dishonest about his romantic involvement with a junior coworker.
Last year, it was revealed that Mr. Willoughby had deceived Ms. Willoughby regarding the affair. Additionally, he had confessed to ITV, his talent agency YMU, his family, and the Mail about this falsehood. He eventually admitted the truth in a statement made to them last May.
A source stated: ‘Phil has a history of dishonesty, so it’s important to approach anything he says with skepticism. He has been known to deceive his coworkers, superiors, and the press, among others.’
After whispers spread in May suggesting a disagreement, Schofield left Ms. Willoughby heartbroken when he publicly addressed their friendship. (paraphrased)
Over the past few weeks, we’ve both faced some challenges. Just as I’ve mentioned earlier, Holly has been a strong support for me.
We’ve always been close friends, and she consistently provides remarkable support for me both on-camera, off-screen, and over the phone.
‘Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I’ve been there for her.’
Friends of Ms Willoughby said at the time said she was ‘blindsided’ by his outburst.
Schofield stood down from This Morning days later on May 20.
He said in a statement: ‘I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on, and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love.
“I have decided to leave This Morning immediately, in the hopes that it will help the show continue on its path towards a promising tomorrow.
Although he resigned from “This Morning,” it was planned that he would host the Soap Awards a week afterwards on ITV. The executives at the network had also prepared a new prime-time program for him.
He later quit after admitting an affair with his colleague.
Elsewhere, the identity of Phil’s ‘three s**ts’ have allegedly been revealed as Holly and his former ITV bosses Martin Frizell and Emma Gormley.
At his recent return performance on Channel 5’s Cast Away, broadcasted last week, the popular television personality criticized those who had deceived him around sixteen months back during his departure from ITV’s This Morning program.
In the program, Schofield seems to attribute his sudden downfall to a group of his ex-ITV coworkers, stating: “I believe there are only three unscrupulous individuals in the entertainment industry.
In one instance, he accused someone of being a ‘coward during the events of Queuegate.’ In another situation, he labeled another as a ‘coward for not standing up for me when I was under attack.’
He claimed the third ‘is just brand-orientated’, adding: ‘Not what you expect, not what you think you’re going to get.’
According to The Sun, Phil alleges that Holly and their This Morning boss Martin orchestrated a planned takeover to fire him, following the imprisonment of his sibling Timothy, who is a known pedophile.
Reports suggest that Phil has taken to calling his former close friend Holly by the nickname “the witch” and is said to use a witch symbol when speaking about her among his circle of companions.
My friend shared that Phil feels Holly, Martin, and Emma might have been the cause for his dismissal from ITV, and he strongly suspects they didn’t treat him justly.
According to sources close to the situation, Phil reportedly implored Martin to keep him and Holly from attending the Queen’s coffin viewing for their ITV program. However, this request ended up causing a public uproar known as ‘queue-gate’.
When reached out to by TopMob, Holly’s representatives chose not to provide a statement. ITV has yet to respond to our request for a comment.
It has also been claimed today that Holly allegedly ‘knew’ about Schofield’s paedophile brother in the build-up to his court case.
Before the trial, it appears Holly stood by her former colleague, offering him assistance, even though she had been taken aback by the allegations against his brother, Timothy.
In April 2023, Philip’s 54-year-old sibling was found guilty of committing eleven instances of child sexual abuse, which occurred from October 2016 to October 2019. Among these offenses were two counts of engaging in sexual conduct with a minor.
According to The Mirror, Philip informed Holly about Timothy’s arrest in 2021 approximately a month later, and she was commended for her exceptional support during his challenging time.
A friend told the publication: ‘There is a narrative – uncorrected by Holly’s team – that she was blindsided by news of his brother’s court case and was furious with him for keeping her in the dark about it.
‘But that narrative couldn’t be further from the truth.’
However, as soon as it started harming her reputation, it’s clear that Holly distanced herself from the ex-host of This Morning, Timothy, when he stood trial in May.
As an over-the-moon admirer, I can exclusively reveal that I personally heard from a trusted insider that Holly is beyond irritated by such allegations. This source emphasized that not even the tiniest grain of truth can be found in these claims.
According to the Sun, Holly began creating a barrier between them, as she understood it might reflect poorly on her reputation.
My friend shared with the media: “Phil believes he was fired due to the negative publicity concerning his brother, Tim. Everyone, even Holly, was aware of Tim’s situation.
At the talk show ‘This Morning’, they possessed a private makeup area named ‘The Sanctuary’. It was here that Phil gathered close confidants like Holly, and with tears in his eyes, shared the news about his brother. Holly offered comfort, holding his hand gently.
Phil believes she kept a distance from the issue publicly as it harmed her image, but privately, she backed Phil and found his brother’s actions abhorrent.
Holly’s representatives declined to comment when contacted by TopMob.
