This Morning fans say Phillip Schofield has new ‘feud’ after spotting him ‘death staring’ Alice Beer for saying his age
PHILLIP Schofield appeared to death-stare at Alice Beer in an awkward moment on This Morning today.
He looked deeply unimpressed as the consumer reporter brought up his age, flashing her a stare that one fan said “could have killed”.
Speaking about loyalty cards, Alice explained: “If you’re over 60 – that’s you tomorrow isn’t it, Phil – you can get…”
She then trailed off having noticed his expression, adding: “Oh. Oh dear, I should never have done that should I?”
Phillip, 59, replied coldly: “What a strange way to resign.”
One viewer suggested that while the star’s birthday was enthusiastically celebrated by This Morning’s stars, no one else had dared to bring up how old he is.
The fan wrote: “They all said happy bday without the number apart from Alice Beer who broke rank. The look he gave her could have killed.”
Another laughed: “Alice is getting a b*****king right now from Phil.”
A third wrote: “Alice mentions his birthday and nearly got sacked. Here’s Lisa with a cake.”
Suggesting the whole thing might have been for show, they did briefly laugh about it afterwards, before moving on.

This Morning has been plagued by rumours of backstage sniping and bitter feuds, with host Phillip often finding himself at the centre of the rows.
Eamonn Holmes, 62, recently branded the popular host “passive-aggressive” and claiming he is “renowned for snubbing people.”
Meanwhile there are often suggestion of a frosty atmosphere between Phillip and Eamonn’s wife, fellow ITV star Ruth Langsford.
