HOLLY Willoughby has removed a tribute to Phillip Schofield from her Twitter bio after The Sun revealed they are barely speaking.
She first teamed up with the veteran presenter on Dancing On Ice in 2006, before joining him on This Morning three years later.

That year Holly created a Twitter account and underneath her handle @hollywills it read: “I was introduced to this by a Twitter legend” with Phillip’s name linked in her bio.
But her account description has since been amended, though it is not clear when the changes were made.
Her Twitter bio currently reads: “Broadcaster, Founder of Wyldemoon, Brand ambassador for Marks & Spencer and Garnier, Author of Reflections.”
Commenting on the changes, one person tweeted: “Loads of newspaper reports overnight that they’ve both fallen out and don’t talk anymore. Holly’s also removed the mention of Phil from her twitter bio.”
Another echoed: “Didn’t Holly’s twitter bio say something about being introduced to Twitter by ‘a legend’ (ie Phil), now it’s not there…”
Another found a screenshot of her previous Twitter bio, and captioned it: “Ah yes, I wasn’t dreaming.”
It comes as The Sun revealed Holly has expressed her desire to remain on This Morning without Phil if he ever quit.

An insider told The Sun: “Holly adores This Morning and for the first time in 14 years she has made it clear that should Phil ever leave she would want to stay…
“They are separate entities. It has become an open secret that things aren’t as rosy as they once were. To those around them on set, it has become clear recently that Holly and Phil are not as close as they once were…”
Meanwhile, Phil has sensationally broken his silence on the matter in a statement to The Sun.
He said: “The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us.
“As I have said before, Holly is my rock.
“We’re the best of friends — as always, she is 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’ve been there for her.”
Phil took three weeks off the show in March as his brother Timothy Schofield, 54, was convicted of child sex offences.
He is due to be sentenced next week.
