Holly Willoughby attended a private members’ club event on Monday night with her husband Dan Baldwin, surrounded by celebrity friends such as Noel Gallagher, Jemima Khan, and Patsy Palmer. Holly appeared to make a sly dig towards her former colleague Phillip Schofield by sharing a cryptic Halloween post about witches, with references to witches and witch-like imagery. Despite her recent post, Holly looked chic in a black blouse and leather jacket at the event, while her husband opted for a casual look. They were also joined by other stars like Jimmy Carr, John Bishop, and David Mitchell and his wife Victoria.
Phillip Schofield, who recently left This Morning after admitting to having an affair with a junior colleague, reportedly refers to Holly as ‘the witch’. Their friendship took a hit when he accused her of not supporting him publicly during his fall from grace. Phillip reportedly wanted a public show of support from Holly, which she did not provide, leading to tension between them. Holly, for her part, seemed to reference Phillip’s comments by sharing a post about witches on social media and playing Lana Del Rey’s song ‘Season of the Witch’ in the background.
Following their reported falling out, Phillip left Holly devastated when he made a public statement to discuss their friendship and her lack of public support. However, friends of Holly claimed she was blindsided by his outburst and was unaware of the situation. Despite Phillip’s public statement, he stepped down from This Morning days later to protect the show he loved and allow it to move forward. Holly and Phillip were once best friends, with their families even vacationing together, but their relationship soured over time.
The tension between Holly and Phillip reportedly escalated when he accused her of not supporting him publicly following his resignation from This Morning. Phillip blamed Holly for not helping to halt rumors about their falling out and accused her of not backing him during a difficult time. Holly, on the other hand, claimed she was in the dark about the situation and was blindsided by Phillip’s public statement. Phillip reportedly reported Holly to senior ITV bosses, suspecting her PR team of not correcting false narratives about their relationship.
Despite the drama surrounding Holly and Phillip’s relationship, they were both seen attending separate events with other celebrities, showing no signs of reconciliation. Holly looked effortlessly chic in her outfit at the private members’ club event, while Phillip made a comeback on a different channel with his show Cast Away. The fallout between the former colleagues has left fans speculating about the true nature of their friendship and what led to their public falling out. Whether they will reconcile publicly or address the situation remains to be seen.
