Phillip Schofield shares private messages from frustrated Holly Willoughby who is STILL isolating with Covid
PHILLIP Schofield has shared the private messages he’s received from his co-star Holly Willoughby as she remains at home with Covid.
The TV presenter, 59, revealed that the situation was “driving Holly crazy” and that they had been texting each other all weekend as she was forced to miss This Morning again today.
As he opened the show with Josie Gibson, who was standing in at the last minute, he exclaimed: “Josie is back! I’ve been texting Holly all through the weekend and she’s absolutely fine. She just has that incredibly persistent and annoying red line that won’t go away.
