Holly Willoughby reacts to being branded 'a witch' by Phillip Schofield as friends claim he blames her for his ITV downfall


Friends of the disgraced presenter, 62, have claimed that he reported his former best friend and co-host to ITV chiefs after she refused to publicly back him during his dramatic fall from grace.

Friends of Phillip claimed that he felt Holly and a This Morning boss had staged a 'very well constructed coup' as the country witnessed his dramatic fall from grace. Phillip, who made a TV comeback last week on Channel 5's Cast Away, had asked her for a public show of support such as a statement or picture together in the hope it would halt claims they had fallen out. During Phil's comeback show Cast Away, which aired on Channel 5 last week, the TV star took aim at those 'who betrayed him' 16 months ago when he quit ITV's This Morning.
