Celebrity Big Brother star Kim Woodburn, 81, called Phillip Schofield “nasty” and demanded that ITV fire the star from his role as This Morning
Speaking to Dan Wooton about Phillip Schofield, Kim said, “I’ve had so many encounters, he’s a disgusting, horrible man and I don’t know why he’s still on TV.”
“I was on his show and he insulted me, he was rude, he was awful.” He laughed at me, he actually giggled at me.
“He shouldn’t be on TV, he’s a cruel, brutal little man and he’s confident.”
In a recent statement, Phillip said, “The last few weeks have not been easy for any of us.” As I said before, Holly is my rock.
“We’re best friends – as always she’s an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone.” Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I was there for her.’
However, friends of Holly’s reportedly viewed the outburst as a “betrayal” and some of her loved ones are now urging her to let her co-host down.
Kim continued, “As for Holly, I’ll be brief, Holly has been helping and helping him all these years.”
“She’s sitting on the sofa knowing he’s saying things that are extremely rude, nasty and inappropriate… Does she say, ‘Sorry Phil, I disagree with you’? No, she just says “Oh, Phillip!”
“She doesn’t have a point of view, why is she on the show? … When she’s on a top show like this where she’s making loads of money … you should choose someone who has something to say and Holly seems like a sweet little woman and that’s it!
“She saw him being rude to people, I saw people on that show who were very sad.”
Kim said, “I was on his show and he insulted me, he was rude, he was awful.” He laughed at me, he actually giggled at me.
