Holly Willoughby has been hit with a fresh accusation over the Phillip Schofield scandal as I’m A Celebrity star James Haskell hit out against the star.
Holly returned to This Morning on Monday (June 5) with a statement where she asked fans “are you okay” and admitted she was “shaken, troubled, let down and worried” by the scandal. But This Morning fans have continued to call for Holly to go believing that she did know about the affair, despite Holly claiming she didn’t.
Speaking on The Jeremy Vine Show, rugby star James Haskell slammed Holly’s statement.
James Haskell accuses Holly Willoughby of knowing about Schofield affair
James, who is the son-in-law of former This Morning presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, has become the latest star to weigh in on the scandal which has caused shockwaves across ITV and daytime TV.
Referring to Holly’s statement, James said: “Utter nonsense. She [Holly] asked: ‘Are you ok?’ A bloke off the TV cheated on his wife, I think I’ll survive, I think I’ll live. This is 2023 in a nutshell. Everyone tripping over themselves to excavate themselves from any sort of drama, its pretence, its fabrication. I just think it’s appalling.” He then accused Holly of knowing about the affair, after Phillip claimed he “lied” to Holly, which she confirmed.
Jeremy: “Take half a million quid and tell your story.”
