Holly Willoughby recently made a sly comment on social media that seems to be directed at her former co-star, Phillip Schofield. The This Morning star posted a photo of Kate Moss dressed as a witch on Instagram with a ‘Happy Halloween’ message. This post, accompanied by Lana Del Rey’s Season of the Witch, has caused some speculation due to the timing. It comes shortly after reports that Schofield had allegedly referred to Willoughby as a “witch” in private conversations. According to a source, there seems to be some tension between the two, with Schofield reportedly expressing his dislike for Willoughby and even blaming her for his downfall. Despite this, Willoughby seems unfazed by the situation, focusing on her true friends and not letting the negativity affect her.
Schofield has been open about the reasons for his departure from This Morning, citing the negative publicity surrounding his brother’s criminal activities as a significant factor. He claimed that he was let go because of the media attention on his brother, who was convicted of sexual offenses involving a child. Schofield also admitted to having had an affair with a younger colleague, which he described as unwise but not illegal. Despite the challenges he faced, Schofield found support from Willoughby and other trusted friends during this difficult time. However, he believes that Willoughby distanced herself from him publicly to protect her own image, even though she privately offered him kindness and support.
The dynamics between Willoughby and Schofield have been a topic of interest for many fans, especially since their on-screen chemistry and friendship were widely appreciated. The recent developments have shed light on the complexity of their relationship and the challenges they have faced individually. While Schofield has been vocal about his struggles, Willoughby has chosen to focus on her work and her true friendships, not letting rumors and negativity affect her. As they both navigate their respective paths, it is clear that their bond, once strong, has been tested by external factors. Despite the differences that may have arisen between them, it is essential to remember the value of true friendship and support during challenging times. Willoughby’s subtle dig at Schofield may have sparked speculation, but ultimately, what matters most is how they choose to handle their differences and move forward in their careers and personal lives.
