Is Phil backing Holly for This Morning?
|
Make your mind up, Phillip Schofield! The last we read, the This Morning presenter was well up for Myleene Klass replacing Fern Britton as his co-host on the ITV1 breakfast show. Well, that was the rumour, anyway.
Now the star is keen for his Dancing on Ice co-host and fellow Twitter addict Holly Willoughby to join him in the hot seat. “Phil is determined to have a say in who gets the job,” said a source. “It’s no secret he and Fern are no longer best mates. He has a great time doing Dancing on Ice with Holly, so the chemistry is there.”
Hmmm, well they’ve proved they can work well together – but then the same could be said of Phil’s Broom Cupboard co-host Gordon the Gopher. Meanwhile, in other Schofe news, the 47-year-old has taken a break from his television duties to treat his mum to a trip to Rome.
Of course, no visit to the Italian capital would be complete without frequent Twitter updates, and Schofe hasn’t disappointed on that front. “Am I the first person to tweet in the Sistine Chapel?!” wondered the star on Saturday, later tweeting: “Just seen Ron Howard in reception, resisted humming the Happy Days theme... Though I'm singing it in my head now.”
But the star hit back at a couple of comments posted on the Daily Mail website on a story about his holiday, tweeting an unceremonious “up yours” to “Raymond from Poole and Claire from London”. The latter had criticised him for “posting pointless updates to some stupid website” - apparently without a hint of irony.
