This Morning

What?

He's referring to a strop Phil threw following a transmission of Talking Telephone Numbers which went badly tits up. A tape exists of Phil telling the floor manager they'd have to wait "at least 5 f***ing minutes" for him to calm down before recording a trail.

Whilst not my favourite source I noticed this currently within today's Mail Online article...

^ If anything it sounds more like Amanda's trying to deflect the blame and make Philip look like the bad guy. There are plenty of reasons, hostile or otherwise, for a text to be ignored.



Precisely that. Still one of my favourite pres-related videos ever uploaded.

Two people don't like each other. I don't like all my work colleagues and would prefer not to get teamed up with them.

Funny how normally tabloids are ridiculed here, yet when it fits peoples agenda they are suddenly fully 100% accurate.

All of this 'hostility' seems to be to promote her new radio show which I personally wouldn't listen to.

This 'feud' sounds like one of those X Factor type feuds we read about during the build up to the new series each year.

If they so arrogant they cant do their job there are plenty of people available to do it for them.
No one is bigger than the show or the channels.
So called 'celebs forget this.

It's even being reported by Heart itself now: https://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/tv-movies/daytime-tv/this-morning-phillip-schofield-toxic-willoughby/?fbclid=IwAR0Rep22q1JwtdEmLcXCw2KTyCeO57jCeOfpnGC9Qxh91rHXHMiz5LU-JzQ

It even mentions the spat with Fern on the birthday show in October where she believed she wasn't invited to the BAFTA tribute. Even then most people were highly convinced that Phillip had some doing on this.

It's hard to say if these revelations are completely unfounded. But Amanda needs to realise that working on TV is a fickle world. I had a feeling Phillip wasn't all too keen on presenting with Amanda during Holly's maternity leave at the time, and it's transpired that it's right. He should have at least some say on who he would prefer his co-host to be, but ITV do seem to give him some great leverage on this.

The poll is interesting on that page ‘are you a fan of Philip Schofield?’ he has a 70% approval rating with Heart listeners it seems. I wonder why they didn’t have a poll on whether people liked Amanda Holden.

Just a passing thought on all of this - if Schofield does have a "side" to him, isn't it likely that it would have come out during the 24 hour live broadcast he did for Text Santa a few years ago? Over that period, with no sleep, surely the mask would have slipped at some point?

Its possible it only comes out when he is working with people who bring it out of him.
