Holly Willoughby, 37, took a break from her presenting duties on the ITV daytime show This Morning to work in the jungle on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! 2018. Now, her co-star Phillip Schofield, 56, has accused the star of being a “cheat” during her stint in the Australian jungle. He believes the blonde beauty helped the contestants on the show during the infamous Bushtucker Trials in an interview with the latest issue of OK! Magazine. When asked how if he learnt anything from watching Holly on-screen, Phillip told the publication: “Nothing. I knew she was going be frightened and I knew that she was going to cheat.”
Holly interjected: “Cheat?”
Phillip continued: “You helped them cheat. Never ever have any of the people in the jungle had help like they had this year.”
She seemingly appeared shocked by his accusation as she mused: “How did I help them?”
To which her co-star replied: “Oh there were numerous occasions where you would say, ‘Maybe a little bit to the right.’”
Holly appeared to agree with her colleague as she added: “Oh, I see what you mean. Maybe I did. Like a little hint – no really a cheat. Just a little nudge.”
The beauty took some time out of her regular presenting gig last month as she stepped in to temporarily replace Ant McPartlin on I’m A Celebrity.
TV legend Ant, 43, has since spoken about Holly’s time on the show, when she presented alongside Declan Donnelly, 43.
He told The Sun: “I’ve seen bits since I’ve got back. I thought they’ve done a great job. I thought Holly was fantastic.”
The star also revealed he will be back in the jungle this year as a duo alongside Dec.
Meanwhile, Holly is back on our screens as she currently presents Dancing On Ice alongside Phillip.
The mother-of-three oozed Hollywood glamour on last night’s episode as she sported a red figure-hugging ensemble.
It also boasted a low-cut neckline, which drew attention to her ample cleavage.
Taking to Instagram, the beauty sent fans into a meltdown as she posted a snap of her chic outfit.
In view of her 5.1 million followers she captioned the post: “Are you ready for tonight’s @dancingonice.
“Dress by @sassiholford shoes by @sophiawebster jewellery by @berganzalondon.”
Many of her fans gushed over the snap as one person wrote: “Holly Willoughby you look absolutely amazing.”
Another person commented: “You always look stunning,” while other person added: “Wow, love this look.”
