Holly Willoughby shrugs off Phillip Schofield ‘swipe’ as she flashes her legs in stunning new shoot
HOLLY Willoughby has shrugged off Phillip Schofield’s ‘swipe’ while flashing her legs in a stunning new shoot.
Holly, 43, took to social media to share a beautiful image of herself in a dazzling pink dress which revealed her pins and featured a huge bow by the collar.
The grinning presenter could be seen holding some silver balloons against the backdrop of white curtains as she leant forward for the photo.
It was taken to celebrate Holly’s wellness brand Wylde Moon’s third birthday.
She opted for a minimal makeup look in the dazzling photo and pinned her blonde locks back, and the caption read: “Join our 3rd birthday celebrations with 20% off perfume, wax melts, diffusers and travel minis…Just wanted to say a huge thank you for having been such a special part of our journey. Here’s to more years of connection and beautiful moments ahead.”
Holly’s post comes after telly veteran Phillip Schofield, 62, opened up on his bombshell exit from ITV ahead of being sent to a desert island for Channel 5 documentary Cast Away.
Phillip discussed how he was forced to leave This Morning after 22 years following a fling with a much younger runner — and hinted at a lack of support from his long-time friend and co-host Holly.
He says in the new show, starting on Monday: “When you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it.”
Phillip also appeared to mock the cringeworthy moment when Holly broached the subject of his departure on This Morning, as she bizarrely opened the show with the words: “Are you OK?”
He is seen having a family barbecue in the garden of his London home and handing food to wife Stephanie Lowe and their daughters Molly, 31, and Ruby, 28.
As he does so, he laughs: “If you’re OK, then we’re OK, and I’m OK . . . are you OK?”
Holly — who is never mentioned by name — is not the only target in the programme, which will run over three consecutive nights.
In another scene he appears to sever ties with his former employers ITV, where he worked for decades on a string of shows including Dancing On Ice.
He says: “I’m apparently 4/1 to do the other jungle programme (ITV’s I’m A Celebrity).
“Although my best mates host it, there are some channels you just won’t work for.
“There are just some people you won’t work for.”
He also blames himself in Phillip Schofield: Cast Away, which sees him forced to forage and hunt for food and water and live in a flimsy shelter on the beach.
Discussing his fling, he admits: “It was an unwise and unprofessional thing to do, I will be forever sorry. You know, I screwed up.
“I made a mistake, and I hurt the people around me.”
