Phil Schofield 'has lost the plot': Holly's friends call him 'sick' as he hurls new slurs at her in bitter email to KATIE HIND, who reveals what's really going on


Unhappy that last week I had questioned the truth about some of his claims on Cast Away, Phillip Schofield used an email as an opportunity to slur his former best friend Holly Willoughby.

His unofficial PR machine has been out in force this week, it seems, with 'friends' of the disgraced ­presenter telling one tabloid newspaper he had sent Holly a message on WhatsApp the day before news of his This Morning axe became public, claiming she had 'brought him down'. After all, it was he who gave Holly the chance of a lifetime by insisting to ITV bosses that she replace Fern Britton as his This Morning co-host back in 2009 ­following their success as a duo presenting Dancing On Ice. 'Queuegate' – when Holly and Phil were accused of jumping the line to see the late Queen Elizabeth lying in state at Westminster Hall – certainly put a strain on the friendship and should not be underestimated as a significant factor in its demise.
