Holly Willoughby breaks her silence as she admits she looks forward to ‘a future full of joy, love and endless possibilities’ amid Phillip Schofield feud
Holly Willoughby is looking forward to a future of ‘endless possibilities’ amid her rumored feud with This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield.
In her latest Monday newsletter for subscribers to her wellness brand Wylde Moon, the star wrote in a reflective mood as she revealed she got some advice from a friend.
“The older I get, the more I realize how daunting the concept of the passage of time can be,” she mused. “I can always remember my grandma saying things like ‘wait until you get to my age…then it really starts to fly by’ – and now I really get it.”
“If this resonates with you, I’d like to share with you some advice that one of my friends gave me when we were discussing this very subject.
Tough time: Holly Willoughby looks forward to a future with ‘endless possibilities’ amid her rumored feud with This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield
“She told me that instead of worrying about how fast things are going, we should look at things differently and realize that with every moment (big or small) that passes, we are creating a future full of joy, love and endless possibilities .
“If we can remember to think about how lucky we are to make all these memories, the passage of time can feel very positive. It’s a bit like that old saying, “Time is a luxury that the wise value.”
Holly and Phil were back on screen for the first time since news of their feud broke on Monday, but couldn’t comment on claims their relationship is on the verge of breaking up and they barely speak off camera.
Phil is trying to put an end to the ongoing feud after it emerged he had brought in his own lawyers over the argument with his co-host, sources have revealed. He has also hired a new PR man to improve his press coverage.
It comes as ITV confirmed the pair would host the show, after more than 48 hours of crisis talks. Those close to the couple said the program will continue to run smoothly despite the behind-the-scenes feud.
Broadcaster bosses were reportedly furious after Phil broke his silence on Thursday night with a shocking statement about the spat with his co-presenter of 14 years admitting that ‘the past few weeks have not been easy for us’.
Despite this, Phil believes he can weather the ongoing storm, but even those closest to him have said it has to do with whether the public believes the pair still have on-screen chemistry.
Sources at the broadcaster described the situation as a “dilemma” for the bosses, as both former friends were determined to get their way.
Phil has consulted lawyers about the situation, which has been spiraling out of control for months.
The Daily Mail revealed this weekend that he has also hired Gordon Smart, a former Sun showbiz columnist and occasional Good Morning Britain presenter, to manage the crisis and ensure favorable press coverage.
It’s a clear sign, sources say, that he’s “taking this very seriously” and “wants to get out of the situation quickly.”
The feud began in September when the pair faced criticism for not lining up for the Queen’s Lying in State.
It’s gotten so bad that it’s said they stop talking when the cameras stop rolling. Holly has now severed all ties with Phil except for her obligations to This Morning.
