RUTH Langsford has made a cheeky dig at Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby’s ongoing feud during an episode of Loose Women.
The TV star was anchoring the latest instalment of the ITV1 show when she made a barbed comment, seemingly aimed the stars’ fallout.
Ruth Langsford has taken at swipe at Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby’s row
She joked about ‘feuding friends’ during Tuesday’s Loose Women
Ruth and Phillip famously came to blows themselves in 2019 when he cut her off during a segment between This Morning and Loose Women.
Her husband Eamonn Holmes has also already waded into the Holly and Phil row, branding them a “broken fit”.
Ruth took her opportunity to dig the knife in while discussing friendships and blind dates during Tuesday’s episode of Loose Women.
The star was discussing whether you would trust your pals to set you up on a blind date with her co-stars Coleen Nolan, Janet Street Porter and Kéllé Bryan.
Coleen told the panel: “I would trust all of you to pick a blind date.”
Ruth then sniggered: “You could trust me, although we might be feuding at the time!
“if we were feuding I’d pick you a really horrible one!”
The entire panel broke into laughter after Ruth cracked her cheeky joke.
Ruth’s quip came after her hubby Eamonn had discussed Phillip and Holly’s fallout on his flagship GB News show on Monday.
While discussing Sunday night’s BAFTAs as he looked through the morning’s newspapers, he said: “I think there should have been a special award for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby for best actors.
“They may or may not be together on the telly today.
“The public surely will suss that there’s no chemistry, that it’s a broken fit between the two of them and that This Morning does not depend on who presents it.”
Previously, Eamonn has branded Phil “passive-aggressive” and claimed he is “renowned for snubbing people”.
Holly and Phil’s relationship is said to have been strained for a long time behind the scenes.
Their on-screen chemistry on Monday, however, barely gave any indication that there were problems between the pair, although some eagle-eyed viewers claim to have spotted some tension.
The Celeb Report has now revealed that Phillip is facing the axe from This Morning — amid a “seismic” summer shake-up.
Insiders say many believe the time is finally up for Phil, who has hosted the ITV juggernaut since 2002.
This Morning’s boss Martin Frizell could also be in line for the chop, according to staff – as ITV top brass attempt a major overhaul of the embattled series.
However those working on the daytime show say they understand popular co-presenter Holly Willoughby’s job will be safe.
