Phillip Schofield removes all traces of Holly Willoughby on Instagram as he 'moves on'

It comes just days after the former This Morning presenter also unfollowed Holly, 42, on the social media platform although she still follows her former co-presenter.

A source told The Daily Mail: "Holly and Phil used to post pictures together for fun, they were huge parts of one another's lives and they loved to show their viewers how close they are.

In his first interview since the scandal emerged the presenter said he had "lost his best friend" in reference to Holly.

Phillip revealed she had not responded to his text message adding the pair were not in a feud.
