In the latest Phillip Schofield news, India Willoughby has shared her fears for the former This Morning host as people continue to “put the boot in”.
61-year-old Phillip has been dominating the headlines for the past few weeks following his “unwise but not illegal” affair confession. And it’s fair to say the news of his fling with the younger ITV employee has left the showbiz world reeling.
But broadcaster India has been left feeling rather “uncomfortable” about the fall-out from Phillip’s affair.
Phillip Schofield news: India Willoughby shares fears for star
Since Phillip’s shock fling confession, and exit from ITV completely, plenty of his colleagues and fellow celebs have chimed in to share their thoughts on the scandal.
Eamonn Holmes, who is no stranger to airing his thoughts on Phillip, has launched several attacks at both Phillip and his former pal Holly Willoughby. While another one of Phillip’s enemies, Kim Woodburn, has branded him as “ghastly” and “cruel” for his “sordid secrets”.
I’m really uncomfortable with how some people are putting the boot in.
And now, Phillip’s former This Morning co-star India has chimed in to have her say on the matter.
India ‘uncomfortable’ with Philip Schofield uproar
Taking to her Twitter on Thursday night (June 1) India wrote to her followers: “I’m no fan of Philip Schofield, but on a basic human level, I’m really uncomfortable with how some people are putting the boot in. Sick.”

India had previously appeared on This Morning in the past, but according to her that all of a sudden came to a “halt”.
On Friday (June 2) and after Phillip’s shock interview with BBC, India took to her Twitter yet again. And this time she appears to confirm the reason behind her exit from the show.
“I had a little gig on This Morning, which suddenly came to a halt because (I’m told) of Philip Schofield,” she said. “So I have more reason than most not to be a fan. But I recognise a lot of what he says about internet abuse and fake stories. Been there. Leave him alone.”
