Despite reports indicating that Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby are no longer feuding, their friendship may never be made public.

According to Mail Online, despite the fact that Phillip had reached out to Holly to offer his support in the midst of her being named in a kidnapping and murder plot, it was’very improbable’ that the two would ever be as close as they once were, let alone be friends.

A source added that Holly had messaged him when he was forced to depart This Morning due to a secret workplace romance that resulted in intense backlash, but it was not an indication that things would improve.

According to the source, it is extremely unlikely that they will become friends again. She sent him a text message because she was so distraught and concerned about the criticism he was receiving at the same time that she was returning to television.

Nonetheless, the source indicated that there was a glimmer of hope for the pair to resume their former intimacy, as Holly reportedly welcomed Phillip’s concern in his most recent attempt to approach her.

“Holly and Phil’s friendship was so close before the events of this year. Phil’s decision to reach out, and the welcome it has been received with by Holly, shows that there is still a bond there. The hope is they can regain some of the ground lost, and support each other again.”

Holly ‘never got over’ her friendship with Phillip, according to the source, and she ‘misses’ him. It is very upsetting.
