Phillip Schofield’s decision to now delete photos of himself with Holly Willoughby follow the announcement that a television production company is scheduled to present a drama feature of the scandal that rocked television.
The timing of the photo removals speak volumes, with some analysts speculating that the former presenter is still bitter about her role in his departure from the programme, with the recent announcement that his mess up is to become the subject of a drama programme.
The photos in question, once proudly displayed on Schofield’s Instagram and Twitter profiles, were conspicuously removed, leaving fans to sift through the remnants of their joint on-screen journey.
While the action itself is not inherently unusual—celebrities often curate their social media presence—what makes it noteworthy is the timing and the implications it carries.
Sheila Mckenzie- a life coach, analyst, and contributor to this publication told The Eye Of Media.Com: ” the recent announcement that a production company will be featuring a drama about his life appears to have sparked this recent decision to delete photos of himself and Holly’
‘He has had plenty of time to delete the photos, but never did this up until now. It occurred within 24 hours of the announcement about the production company’s plan to make an in depth drama production about his life.
‘This has definitely triggered the decision for him to delete the photos of himself and Holly. It is likely he is blaming her for all this if he believes he would still be in ITV had she not been against him.
‘People rarely ever blame themselves when things go wrong
Rumors and whispers from behind the scenes at the ‘This Morning’ programme, have painted a picture of ongoing tension between the two hosts, which had been brewing for a while before Schofield’s departure from the ITV programme.
One of the most persistent rumors that circulated in the media is that Holly Willoughby issued an ultimatum to ITV bosses, demanding that they addressed the situation by either removing Phillip Schofield from the show or implementing substantial changes. ITV denied those rumours.
However, Schofield expressed his view that the media attacks against him were largely homophobic, winning support from the likes of Elton John, but not Dan Wooton, who would later find himself on the receiving end of media criticism for his own separate alleged misdemenours.
Holly Willoughby had every right to dissociate herself from Schofield’s alleged controlled conduct.
