A whole host of celebs have come out in support of Phillip Schofield after news of his feud with Amanda Holden emerged.
Phil, 57, took to Twitter last night to break his silence on this claims, revealing his hope that his fans don’t believe claims he stopped Amanda from getting a presenting job on This Morning.
Stars including ex Strictly dancer James Jordan and perfumer Jo Malone have publicly declared themselves for Team Schofe after they both appeared as guests on This Morning.
Phil had tweeted: “The end of another really sad weekend. When you try for 35 years to be the easiest, most fun person to work with and you read such hurtful and wildly untrue stories from nameless ‘sources’.

“Obviously I’ll take it on the chin.. I just hope you know me better.”
James responded: “It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on DOI….. A true professional but always very supportive and caring. And yes you’re fun, just not as fun as me.
“You’re a top man . Lots of jealous people out there mate.”

Jo said: “Dear Schofe I would like to say thank you, every time I have been on the show with u both or have met you out and about you have ALWAYS been a kind, interested, life-enhancing gentleman who looks to give back.”
“Love you man, here if you need x,” author Giles Paley-Phillips said.
The social media team that runs ITV’s Twitter account simply tweeted a heart emoji in response.

Rumours of a rift between Amanda and Phil began when it was claimed he’d stopped her from hosting the show while Holly Willoughby was away with I’m A Celebrity.
Heart FM breakfast DJ Amanda reportedly took her concerns to ITV boss Kevin Lygo, with a former daytime TV executive revealing that “Phillip actively campaigned for Rochelle Humes to get the job despite Amanda being more experienced”.
This was despite it being alleged that Amanda had been told in private that “she’d got the gig”.
