Philippe Schofield apparently threw shade at his former This morning co-host Holly Willoughby by no longer following the TV star on Instagram.

Despite the apparent snub, Holly, who walked the red carpet at the National Television Awards Tuesday evening, continues to follow Phillip on social media.

The presenting duo had been shortlisted for the Best TV Presenter award at the awards ceremony, alongside their colleagues. This morning welcomes Alison Hammond, Dermot O’Leary, Rylan Clark and Martin Lewis.

The abrupt move comes after Holly and Phillip got embroiled in a ‘feud’ towards the end of last year. Despite the breakup rumours, the TV stars rushed to set the record straight, saying the pair were on good terms.

Speaking to Newsbeat, the mother-of-three said, “You can’t have as many hours of TV as we do together without hearing each other.”

Meanwhile, in 2020, Phillip told Chris Evans on his How to impress podcast: “There was nothing said that contained any truth. There was none and there was never a fight with Holly.

“When they wrote ‘Phillip and Holly and Feud’ we couldn’t have been closer because I told her my secret and she kept me together at work.”

Their relationship was further strained in May 2023 following the sexual abuse trial of Phillip’s brother Timothy in April.

Quashing Those Breakup Rumors, Phillip Said The sun: “Like I said before, Holly is my rock.” he said. “We are the best of friends. As always, she is incredibly supportive 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 past few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us.”

The 61-year-old added: “My family have been through a real ordeal, and Holly’s support has always meant the world to me – as has the support of my bosses at ITV, my editor Martin Frizell and the whole This Morning family, including our incredible viewers. No matter what happens, we can always count on each other.

Although Phillip didn’t attend the National Television Awards this year, Holly dazzled fans on the red carpet in a strapless lavender dress. She looked like the belle of the ball in her sumptuous garment which featured a long train and ruched corset top.

The star looked sensational in her Suzanne Neville dress which she teamed with sparkling jewelry from Mappin & Webb.

She wore her shiny blonde locks in a perfectly coiffed Marilyn Monroe-inspired hairstyle and accentuated her beautiful features with radiant highlighter and sleek eyeliner.

Taking to social media, Holly was quick to share a slew of glamor snaps in addition to a very candid late-night selfie that showed her devouring a giant cheeseburger.

“Say (quarter pounder with) CHEESE,” Holly joked in her caption.

Her post quickly garnered thousands of likes, with one fan commenting: “Diamonds and Cheeseburgers…Living the Dream”, while a second chimed in: “I love this photo!!! Somehow she still looks glamorous.”
