Holly Willoughby ignores Phillip Schofield ‘swipe’ as she poses in stunning leggy new snaps – after her ex co-star appeared to mock her

Holly Willoughby ignored Phillip Schofield’s recent swipe as she posed in gorgeous leggy new snaps on Saturday.

Her ex This Morning co-star Phillip and his family appeared to mock Holly’s famous ‘Are you OK?’ clip when he returned to TV this week.

The presenter, 62, will appear on Channel 5’s Cast Away, which airs on Monday, in which he thanks Ant McPartlin, 48, and Dec Donnelly, 49. as well as Joanna Lumley78, – but neglects to mention Holly, 43.

During the show he discusses his bitter split with ITV and This Morning, which he presented for 21 years while fending for himself on a remote island paradise off the coast of Madagascar.

Phillip was kicked out of This Morning in May last year after admitting lying about his relationship with a much younger male colleague.

Holly distanced herself from her former best friend and during a ‘very strategic’ return to the This Morning sofa in June 2023, she told viewers she was left ‘shocked, let down and worried’.

But after the swipe, Holly took to Instagram to celebrate the third anniversary of her wellness company Wylde Moon, as she shrugged off the recent drama.

She looked stunning in a light pink leggy dress with cute bow details on it as she posed with some silver balloons.

Holly wrote in the caption: ‘Join our 3rd anniversary with 20% off perfume, wax melts, diffusers and travel minis…

“I just wanted to thank you so much for being such a special part of our journey. Here’s to more years of connection and beautiful moments ahead.’

It comes after Phillip and his family appeared to mock Holly’s famous ‘Are you OK?’ clamp.

When she came back, she started by saying, “Hi, first of all, are you okay?” I hope so. It feels very strange to be here without Phil.’

Phillip appears to reference the now famous speech on Cast Away and is seen having a barbecue with his family before heading to the island.

In a clip obtained by The sunhe hands out food to his wife Stephanie and their daughters Molly, 31, and Ruby, 28, and laughs: “If you’re all right, then we’re all right, and I’m all right too… I’m all right with you?’

There is no mention of Holly in the clip.

Holly said in the original statement that: ‘It does feel very strange sitting here without Phil and I imagine you may have felt the same way I did.

“Shocked, disturbed, let down, concerned for the well-being of people on all sides of what is going on and full of questions.”

‘All of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who did not tell the truth, who behaved in a way that they themselves felt required them to resign from ITV and give up a career they loved. That’s a lot to process.”

‘It is equally difficult to see the toll this has taken on their own mental health. I think what unites us all now is the desire to heal for the health and well-being of all.”

She added, “I hope we can find strength in each other as we begin this new chapter and return to a place of warmth and magic that the show has in store for us all.”

‘And can I thank you from the heart for all your kind messages and thank you for being here this morning? Myself, Josie, Dermot, Alison, Craig and everyone who works on this show will continue to work hard every day.”

Phillip doesn’t mention his former co-star Holly in his new TV show Cast Away – but does take several swipes at his former colleagues.

Despite mentioning ITV co-stars Ant and Dec and Joanna Lumley, 78, Holly is not mentioned at all in the 45-minute episode.

In an outburst that has viewers wondering if it’s aimed at her, Schofield says: “If you’re going to throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really good reason for it.

‘I started in television because I love the details of television, I never wanted to be famous. I’m not worried about that.

‘I’m missing parts of it. I miss most of it, to be honest. But there are parts that I really, really, really don’t miss.

‘You learn a lot about people. I don’t miss that.’

The disgraced presenter revealed this week that he was taking part in his own survival show just 16 months after leaving This Morning after admitting to having an ‘ill-advised but not illegal’ affair with a junior male colleague.

He is said to have turned down a selection of big-money TV offers before choosing to sign up for Cast Away – which he believes will allow him to share his story in an ‘raw and honest’ way.

Holly left This Morning on October 23 after co-hosting the show with Phillip for fourteen years.

Sources said at the time that she quit because the show “wasn’t the same” after her co-host left, but was ultimately “tipped over the edge” by an alleged “kidnapping and murder plot,” insiders claim.

Meanwhile, Schofield called ITV duo Ant and Dec his “best friends” during the episode.

In May it was suggested that Declan Donnelly had allegedly tried to convince the former presenter to make a TV comeback after the pair enjoyed a four-hour dinner together.

Joanna Lumley was also in attendance and sent him a ‘good luck’ message.

Ms Lumley, 78, appeared on a similar program in 1994. “Listen, Phil, these are the tips I have,” she said.

‘Keep your knives sharp, spend a good part of the day looking for wood, otherwise you won’t be able to eat anything.

“While I was on the island, I made a pair of shoes out of my bra, and I wish you could do something daring, and bring it back so we could all look at it.

“I’ll be thinking about you all the time Phil, and actually I’m a little jealous, lots of love.”
