This Morning fans claim ‘you can spot the tension’ between Holly and Phillip | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

On Wednesday, it was reported Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have drifted apart off-camera.

The duo, who have presented This Morning for 14 years, are reportedly “not as close” as they used to be.

It was also claimed by various external sources that Holly and Phillip’s partnership has been under strain in recent months.

However, as the pair introduced the show on Thursday, many fans shared their thoughts on the host’s body language, with some claiming they “are barely speaking”.

Holly began: “It’s just 48 hours to go until the Eurovision final. We thought we’d start with one of the classics that is, of course, Lulu.”

“That was from 1969 and that was the joint winner,” Holly continued as Phil said: “I didn’t know that.”

“How is that a thing?” Holly quizzed before Phil added: “I don’t know how they had that.

“The whole of Europe and exact voting made three people… Spain, Netherlands and France…

“We will be chatting with some super fans of Eurovision later on in the show.”

Fans quickly took to Twitter in droves to comment on the “tension” between the duo.
