It comes after Amanda Holden backed Ruth Langsford for formally complaining about the This Morning host.

The BGT judge, who has clashed before with Schofield, praised Ruth for “sticking up for herself”.

She also suggested a can of worms may be about to open — amid claims civil war had broken out at the ITV show.

Quizzed about the goings-on, Amanda, 48, said on her Heart radio show today: “I admire anyone who sticks up for themselves as it’s not an easy thing to do.

"There is a tin opener and a can somewhere, and other people have found the opener.”

Last year The Sun told how Amanda blamed Schofield, 57, when she was overlooked as Holly Willoughby’s cover when she was drafted in to host I'm A Celebrity.

She previously jibed that three things she would never want to find in her house are “spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield”.

Ruth, married to This Morning Friday co-host Eamonn Holmes, made a formal complaint after she claimed Schofield rudely interrupted her in April.

Last weekend we revealed eight more stars raised concerns about the atmosphere caused by Schofield's behaviour.

His relationship with co-host Holly, 38, is also said to be cooling.

ITV insists Schofield is the target of “malicious gossip”.

A show spokeswoman said: “This is absolutely not a description of This Morning we recognise.”
