The TV stars have been under scrutiny for days, with everyone from viewers to other celebs, the media and body language experts weighing in. Social media has also been flooded with comments from people wondering what's going on and what will happen next.

What have Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby said about 'the feud'?

Willoughby, 42, has yet to address all the speculation about the state of the pair's relationship.

But Schofield, 61, has spoken out, insisting that Willoughby is his "rock" and that they are still close.

He told The Sun in a statement: "As I have said before, Holly is my rock. We're the best of friends - as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone."

Schofield said that Willoughby, who was recently ill with shingles, had always been there for him "through thick and thin".

"And I've been there for her," said the star, who recently took some leave around his younger brother's Timothy's sex abuse trial.

"The last few weeks haven't been easy for either of us."

Willoughby has yet to publicly acknowledge the situation.

What have others said about Holly and Phil?

Eamonn Holmes claimed the friendship between Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield is "broken" and This Morning no longer needs them.

Holmes, 63, said on his GB News show of their absence from the TV Baftas: "I think there should have been a special award for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby for best actors."

Fellow ITV host Lorraine Kelly said: “Do you know what? They were back today and it was business as usual and everyone is just getting on with it."

“I would be sad if they left the show but I don’t think that is ever likely to happen and I think they’re just getting on with it,” she added to The Sun.
