Yahoo News Holly Willoughby erases Phillip Schofield nod from Twitter bio amid feud rumours
She still follows him, though.
Holly Willoughby has added fuel to the fire by removing a reference to Phillip Schofield from her Twitter bio.
Rumours of a backstage feud between the Dancing on Ice and This Morning co-presenters went nuclear this week, as The Sun reported Willoughby and Schofield weren't on speaking terms away from the cameras.
In a subsequent statement, though, the latter described them as still "the best of friends" and that Willoughby was his "rock".

However, eagle-eyed social media users have now discovered that the mum-of-three's Twitter bio is missing one significant line - "I was introduced to this by a Twitter legend @Schofe."
With a raised eyebrow, @MadameMinge wrote: "Didn't Holly's twitter bio say something about being introduced to Twitter by 'a legend' (ie Phil), now it's not there…"
"Loads of reports that they've both fallen out and don't talk anymore. Holly's also removed the mention of Phil," pointed out @footymadfan22.
It is not clear when this alteration was made, but upon visiting Willoughby's page we're now greeted with the words: "Broadcaster. Founder of Wyldemoon. Brand Ambassador for Marks & Spencer and Garnier. Author of Reflections."
