Are Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield feuding?
According to report, the feud between Holly and Phillip began when she won a Bafta award for hosting last year's I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here! alongside Declan Donnelly.
Holly filled in for Ant McPartlin in 2018 after he took a break from TV commitments following a battle with alcohol and prescription drugs.
But according to an ITV source Phillip, 57, didn't want Holly to celebrate or mention her victory.
The source told The Sun: “Phillip was furious. He didn’t want Holly mentioning her triumph when they reunited on This Morning.
“It felt very petty and bitter for someone who is his close friend. But it felt like he was jealous.”
Things also allegedly escalated when Holly wanted Phil to stop posting social pictures of her guzzling alcohol on his social media, but was too nervous to ask him, so she opted to do it via the management company they share.

Why did Ruth Langsford and Amanda Holden make complaints about Phillip Schofield?
Ruth Langsford also reportedly filed a complaint to ITV bosses, after Phillip savagely interrupted her on live TV.
In the clip, the presenters clash after he rudely cuts a Loose Women segment short, with Ruth, 59 slamming her pen down in fury.
A source told The Sun: “After Phillip literally cut her off in the middle of a sentence on air when she was hosting Loose Women she decided enough was enough. Yet again nothing changed.”
In addition, Britain's Got Talent host Amanda Holden has made no secret of the fact that she has a bone to pick with Phillip.
Last year, she claimed he was the reason she was missed out on filling in for Holly on This Morning after was drafted in to cover I'm A Celebrity.
Instead, he lobbied for Rochelle Humes to get the job because she was “easier to manage” on air.
She was left "shocked when she was taken out to lunch by ITV executives who told her that unfortunately they couldn’t follow through with the offer" to work on the hit magazine show.

"During the lunch they let slip they thought the decision had been heavily influenced by Phil and that he had thrown a spanner in the works," the insider told The Sun.
After reports surfaced that Ruth had also been unfairly treated by Phillip, Amanda praised the Loose Women star for speaking out on her Heart FM show.
When asked about the recent revelations by co-host Jamie Theakston, she said:
that a civil war is brewing as a series of presenters are unhappy about the host’s attitude behind the scenes. "Jamie, listen, I have drawn a line... all I will say is I admire anyone who sticks up for themselves as it's not an easy thing to do."
She added: "There is a tin opener and a can somewhere, and other people have found the opener."

Speaking at the Dancing on Ice 2020 press conference, Holly began to tear up as she spoke about her relationship with Phillip.
The mum of three gushed: "Phil and I met on this show. There's a lot of history in this show."
She continued: "My kids really love the show as well, I get quite emotional thinking about it, that all of them were carried in my tummy on this show and when we finished I always went off and had the babies... Oh my God you're going to set me off!
"So now it's really nice because they love it and I tend to split it, I bring one of them each week, they come for the whole day and sit through the rehearsals. It's really nice. It's a real family show."
Holly was then asked directly by Newsbeat if there was any bad blood between her and Phillip.
Denying the claims, she said: "You couldn’t do the amount of hours of TV that we do with each other without getting on."
Phillip then went on to describe her as his best friend, saying: "We have such a laugh. We're best mates, she's like the sister I never had. I just adore working with her, she's just perfect."
